Only those beneath me can envy or hate me.

I have never been envied nor hated;I am above no one.

Only those above me can praise or belittle me.

I have never been praised nor belittled;I am below no one.

Your saying to me,"I do not understand you,"is praisebeyond my worth,and an insult you do not deserve.How mean am I when lifegives me gold and I give you silver,and yet I deem myself generous.

When you reach the heart of life you will find yourself nothigher than the felon,and not lower than the prophet.

Strange that you should pity the slow-footed and not theslow-minded,

And the blind-eyed rather than the blind-hearted.

It is wiser for the lame not to break his crutches upon the headof his enemy.

How blind is he who gives you out of his pocket that he may takeout of your heart.

只有那些在我之下的人才能妒忌我或憎恨我。

我不曾被妒忌或被憎恨，我不在任何人之上。

只有那些在我之上的人才能稱贊我或輕視我。

我不曾被稱贊或被輕視，我不在任何人之下。

你對我說：“我不理解你”，對我這是過分的贊揚，對你卻是無故的侮辱。

我是何等的吝嗇，生活贈我以黃金，我卻贈你以白銀，并自以為慷慨。

當你抵達生命之心，你將會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己并不比罪人崇高，也不比先知卑下。

多么奇怪啊，你同情的是腳步緩慢之人而非思想遲鈍之人，是雙眼失明之人而非心靈蒙蔽之人。

瘸子更為明智，沒有在敵人頭上打斷自己的拐杖。

多么盲目啊，那個傾其所有來換取你心之人！
