The Choice of Companion
Anonymous
A good companion is better than a fortune,for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship a blessing.The best companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves,for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds.Greater wisdom and goodness than we possess lifts us higher mentally and morally.
“A man is known by the companion he keeps.” It is always true.Companionship of a high order is powerful to develop character.Character makes character in the associations of life faster than anything else.Purity begets purity,like begets like; and this fact makes the choice of companion in early life more important even than that of teachers and guardians
It is true that we cannot always choose all of our companions,some are thrust upon us by business or the social relations of life,we do not choose them,we do not enjoy them; and yet,we have to associate with them more or less.The experience is not altogether without compensation,if there be principle enough in us to bear the strain.Still,in the main,choice of companions can be made,and must be made.It is not best or necessary for a young person to associate with “Tom,Dick,and Harry” without forethought or purpose.Some fixed rules about the company he or she keeps must be observed.The subject should be uttermost in the thoughts,and canvassed often
Companionship is education,good or not; it develops manhood or womanhood,high or low; it lifts soul upward or drags it downward; it minister to virtue or vice.There is no half way work about its influence.If it ennobles,it does grandly,if it demoralizes,it doest it devilishly.It saves or destroys lustily.Nothing in the world is surer than this.Sow virtue,and the harvest will be virtue,Sow vice,and the harvest will be vice.Good companionships help us to sow virtue; evil companionships help us to sow vice.

一个好友胜过一笔财富.人性中有一些品质会让友谊变成一种幸福的事,而金钱买不到这些品质.最好的朋友是那些比我们更睿智和更出色的人,他们的智慧和美德会激发我们去做更高尚的事情.他们有着比我们更多的智慧和更高尚的情操,可以在精神上和道德上将我们带入一个新的境界.
“观其友而知其人”,这句话总是对的.高层次的交往会有力地塑造一个人的性情.在交往中,品性对品性的影响胜过其它任何因素.纯洁的品格会培养纯洁的品格,爱好会引发相同的爱好.这些表明,在年少时,选择朋友甚至比选择老师和监护人还要重要.
不可否认,有些朋友总是我们不能选择的.有些是工作和社会关系强加于我们的.我们没有选择他们,也不喜欢他们,可是我们不得不或多或少地与他们交往.不过,只要我们心中有足够的原则来承担压力,与他们交往也并非毫无益处.在大多数情况下,我们还是可以选择朋友的,而且,必须选择.一个年轻人毫无前瞻性,也无目的性地随意与张三李四交往,是不好的,也是没必要的.他必须遵守一些确定的交友原则,应当把它们摆在心中最高的位置,并经常加以审视.
无论是有益的还是有害的友谊,都是一种教导.它可以培育或是高贵,或是卑微的品格；它可以使灵魂升华,也可以使之堕落；它可以滋生美德,也可以催生邪恶；它的影响没有折中之道：如果它让人高尚,就会用一种无比高贵的方式,如果让人堕落,也会用一种无比邪恶的方式.它可以有力地拯救一个人,也可以轻易地毁掉一个人.播种美德,就会收获美德；播种邪恶,就会收获邪恶,这是非常确定的,而有益的友谊帮我们播种美德,有害的友谊则支使我们撒下邪恶的种子.
YOUTH
by Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips and supple knees;
it is a matter of the will,a quality of the imagination,a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16,there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:
so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope,cheer,courage and power from men and from the Infinite,so long are you young.
When the aerials are down,and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,then you are grown old,even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up,to catch waves of optimism,there is hope you may die young at 80.

First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. It portrays life in the genteel rural society of the day, and tells of the initial misunderstandings and later mutual enlightenment between Elizabeth Bennet (whose liveliness and quick wit have often attracted readers) and the haughty Darcy. The title Pride and Prejudice refers (among other things) to the ways in which Elizabeth and Darcy first view each other. The original version of the novel was written in 1796-1797 under the title First Impressions, and was probably in the form of an exchange of letters.
Jane Austen's own tongue-in-cheek opinion of her work, in a letter to her sister Cassandra immediately after its publication, was: "Upon the whole... I am well satisfied enough. The work is rather too light, and bright, and sparkling; it wants [i.e. needs] shade; it wants to be stretched out here and there with a long chapter of sense, if it could be had; if not, of solemn specious nonsense, about something unconnected with the story: an essay on writing, a critique on Walter Scott, or the history of Buonaparté, or anything that would form a contrast and bring the reader with increased delight to the playfulness and general epigrammatism of the general style".
Jump to the Pride and Prejudice table of contents.
Document structure: This Pride and Prejudice e-text is fairly thoroughly hypertexted, but there are no cross references from one part of the main body of the text to another part. Instead, links go into or out of the main text, either to or from one of five indexes: The list of characters, the list of events in chronological order, the comments on random topics, the index to the motifs of "pride" and "prejudice", or the list of important places (with a map).
It has been pointed out that since Chapter 1 is marked up pretty much the same way as any other chapter, those who have never read Pride and Prejudice before may find a confusing plethora of links in the first few chapters -- don't feel you have to click on everything.
How to use this Document
If you have a graphics browser, then you will see little mini-icons preceding links in some menus in the Pride and Prejudice hypertext (and elsewhere in the Jane Austen pages):
A down-arrow indicates a link to the next subdocument in a series (or to a later point, often the end, in the current subdocument).
An up-arrow indicates a link to the preceding subdocument in a series (or to an earlier point, often the beginning, in the current subdocument).
A curvy back-arrow indicates a jump back to a superordinate document (often a higher-level table of contents).
A rightwards-pointing arrow indicates all other links (i.e. links to a subdocument subordinate to the current one, or random "sideways" links).
One practical point is that when web browsers follow a link, they tend to put the text referenced by the link at the extreme top of the screen or window, which can be a little awkward for a document which includes many links which go to the middle of a paragraph, as this one does. When you have followed a link, and the promised topic of the link doesn't seem to immediately leap into prominence, look near or at the top of the window, and then scroll back a few lines if necessary to get the immediate context of the reference. On the other hand, when there is a reference to a location near the end of an HTML file, some browsers (including the most frequently used graphic browsers!) will put the end of the file at the bottom of the window, with no indication of where in the window the target location is. (Complain to the software companies about these annoying browser peculiarities.)

The phrase "culture of life" is a controversial term used in moral theology. It is described by its proponents as a philosophy that human life, at all stages from conception through to natural death, is sacred. As such, a "culture of life" is claimed to be opposed to practices seen by its proponents as destructive of human life, often including embryonic stem cell research, abortion, euthanasia, contraception, capital punishment, greed, degradation, sadistic humiliation, narcissism, selfishness, poverty and war. A "culture of life" is frequently supported in United States politics by social conservatives on moral issues (although commonly excluding opposition to capital punishment and war) and fiscal liberals on economic ones.
The expression owes its origins to Pope John Paul II, who first used it in a tour of the United States in 1993. Speaking to journalists at Stapleton International Airport near Denver, Colorado, the Pope denounced abortion and euthanasia, stating that "The culture of life means respect for nature and protection of God's work of creation. In a special way, it means respect for human life from the first moment of conception until its natural end." Cardinal Bernard Law reiterated the theme, urging Americans to "spread the culture of life over the culture of death".
One possible source for this philosophy is the Didache, a first century Christian document which exposes the doctrine of two ways : the way of life and the way of death. This work is part of the Church's Magisterium and has often been cited by Popes.
The Pope returned to the theme in April 1995 through the encyclical Evangelium Vitae Gospel of Life:
In our present social context, marked by a dramatic struggle between the culture of life and the culture of death, there is need to develop a deep critical sense capable of discerning true values and authentic needs.
Some of the issues that are included in the Catholic Church's description of the culture of life include:
* Opposition to abortion
* Opposition to capital punishment
* Opposition to cloning
* Opposition to contraception
* Opposition to embryonic stem cell and fetal research, coupled with support for adult stem cell research
* Opposition to euthanasia
* Opposition to unjust war

A good companion is better than a fortune, for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship a blessing. The best companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves, for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds. Greater wisdom and goodness than we possess lifts us higher mentally and morally.
“A man is known by the companion he keeps.” It is always true. Companionship of a high order is powerful to develop character. Character makes character in the associations of life faster than anything else. Purity begets purity, like begets like; and this fact makes the choice of companion in early life more important even than that of teachers and guardians
It is true that we cannot always choose all of our companions, some are thrust upon us by business or the social relations of life, we do not choose them, we do not enjoy them; and yet, we have to associate with them more or less. The experience is not altogether without compensation, if there be principle enough in us to bear the strain. Still, in the main, choice of companions can be made, and must be made. It is not best or necessary for a young person to associate with “Tom, Dick, and Harry” without forethought or purpose. Some fixed rules about the company he or she keeps must be observed. The subject should be uttermost in the thoughts, and canvassed often
Companionship is education, good or not; it develops manhood or womanhood, high or low; it lifts soul upward or drags it downward; it minister to virtue or vice. There is no half way work about its influence. If it ennobles, it does grandly, if it demoralizes, it doest it devilishly. It saves or destroys lustily. Nothing in the world is surer than this. Sow virtue, and the harvest will be virtue, Sow vice, and the harvest will be vice. Good companionships help us to sow virtue; evil companionships help us to sow vice.
