Vic - Quotes of the Day 27

201198


One of the most time-consuming things is to have an enemy.
與人為敵,至為費時。

- E.B. White, writer (1899-1985)


If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
面對不義時保持中立,就是選擇站在壓迫者那邊。如果象腳踩著鼠尾,而你說自己是中立的,老鼠不會感激你的中立。

- Desmond Tutu, clergyman (b. 1931)


How can we expect another to keep our secret if we have been unable to keep it ourselves.
如果我們自己無法保守秘密,又怎能期望別人替我們保密?

- Francois de La Rochefoucauld, writer (1613-1680)
