Thoughtful Quotes

 

William Shakespeare

 

There is nothing good or bad

but thinking makes it so!           

(from HAMLET; Hamlet act I)

 

 هیچ چیز خوب یا بدی وجود ندارد! 

                                     خوب و بد در اندیشه توست!

 

Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.

 (from JULUIS CAESAR; Julius Caesar act I)

 

گهگاه  انسانها می توانند  ناخدای  سرنوشت  خود باشند!  مشکل از ستاره بخت مان  نیست بلکه از خود ماست که زیر دست و دون پایه هستیم! 

 

And this our life, exempt from human haunt,

Finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks,

Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

(from AS YOU LIKE IT; Duke Senior act II)

 

و در زندگی اگر از هیاهوی انسانها فارغ شويم

 درختان را سخنگو

 جويبارها را همچو كتاب

 سنگها را پر از موعظه مي يابيم

 و در همه چيز نيكي مي بينيم.

 

My crown is in my heart, not on my head;

Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones,

Nor to be seen: my crown is called content;

A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

(from KING HENRY THE SIXTH; Henry VI act III)

  

تاج من بر سرم نيست

تاجِ من در قلبم جاي دارد

كه سنگ های قیمتی آنرا نياراسته

ديدنی نیست

تاجِ من، قناعت نام دارد

كه به ندرت پادشاهي از آن بهره برده است.

 

 

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

(from JULUIS CAESAR; Julius Caesar act II)

                                                                             

  آدمهای ترسو بار ها قبل از مرگ میمیرند

 ولی دلاوران فقط یکبار طعم مرگ را می چشند!

 

William Shakespeare

Imam Ali's Preaches

Imam Ali's Preaches   Imam Ali Said: The one who teaches me but a single word makes me his servant.   One who asks questions learns.   Every thing is good when it is new but friends who are good when they are old.   Don’t speak when you find it untimely.   The best of all men is one who is the most useful to the people.   If you love God clear from your heart the love of the world.   Don’t close a door that you are unable to open.      One who is content with little needs not much.   A true believer will not eat fully as long as his brother is hungry.   How can you be happy in this life than grows shorter with the passage of every hour?    The one who is unable to keep his own secrets will never be able to keep the secrets of others.   Be in such term with your friend as if he may turn against you one day and treat your enemy as if he may become a friend one day.   Entrust your friend with anything but your secrets.   Don’t let God see you away from His obedience and occupied with sins; and, consequently hate you.   Fear God who hears when you speak; and knows what you think.   By thinking you can find the way and by negligence you lose it.   One who gives advice and does not practice it himself is like a bow without string.   How bad it is to have a troublesome neighbor.   Health cannot be obtained expect by abstinence    All people are defective and deficient except those whom God saves.   Live in peace with people so that you may a peaceful life.   Jealously cannot enter the heart of a pure-hearted person

سخنان حکمت آمیز

þ Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

كار نكردن بهتر از مشغول شدن به كاري است كه فايده اي ندارد.

 

þ The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them.

هر چقدر كه ما زيادتر رفقايمان را دوست داشته باشيم كمتر به آنها تملق مي گوئيم.

 

þ Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

هر كس معمار طالع خويش است.

 

þ Speaking without thinking is shooting without aiming.

صحبت بدون تفكر مانند تيراندازي بدون هدف است.

 

þ If you don't get what you want, it is because either that you did not        seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price.

اگر آنچه را كه مي خواهيد به دست نمي آوريد به علت آن است كه يا شما جداً آن را نمي خواسته ايد يا تلاش كرده ايد كه در ارزش آن چانه بزنيد.

 

þ Worry is like sand in an oyster: a little produces a pearl , too much kills the animal.

غم و غصه مانند شن در يك صدف است : كمي از آن توليد مرواريد مي كند مقدار بسيار زياد آن جانور را مي كشد.

 

þPeople are generally satisfied with the reasons which they themselves believe them, not by those of others.

مردم معمولاً با دلائلي كه خودشان به آنها عقيده دارند راضي مي شوند نه با دلائلي كه ديگران به آنها معتقدند.
