智慧的花束─平衡

Truly successful decision making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking. ~Malcolm Gladwell
真正成功的決定,有賴於思考時能在深思熟慮與直覺之間取得平衡。

Fortunate indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself, and holds a just balance between what he can acquire and what he can use. ~Peter Mere Latham
所謂幸運,就是一個人能看自己合乎中道,並且可以在所求與所須之間掌握平衡。

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other. ~Blaise Pascal
信仰蘊含了許多看似彼此對立的真理。

You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. ~William Blake
你永遠無法知道什麼是足夠,除非知道怎樣是比足夠多一點。

Whatever is enough is abundant in the eyes of virtue.
~Seneca The Younger
在美德的眼中,足夠即是富裕。

Where there is too much, something is missing. ~Jewish Saying
過多的地方,必然有欠缺之處。

With some things, only too much is enough; with other things, even a little is too much. ~Anonymous
有些事要過多才夠;有些事即使才一點也嫌太多。

The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.
耶和華在祂一切所行的,無不公義;在祂一切所作的,都有慈愛。
~詩145:17

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
然而照主的安排,女也不是無男,男也不是無女。因為女人原是由男人而出,男人也由女人而出;但萬有都是出乎神。 ~林前11:11-12

Do to others as you would have them do to you.
你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人。 ~路6:31

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
流淚撒種的,必歡呼收割。 ~詩126:5

One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
有施散的,卻更增添;有吝惜過度的,反致窮乏。 ~箴11:24

Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself? Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool— why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes .
不要行義過分,也不要過於自逞智慧,何必自取敗亡呢?不要行惡過分,也不要為人愚昧,何必不到期而死呢?你持守這個為美,那個也不要鬆手,因為敬畏神的人,必從這兩樣出來。 ~傳7:16-18
