[先知]

Your rain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. ----On Pain

灵魂伸展自我，犹如一朵有着无数花瓣的莲花绽放。

The poul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals. ----On Self-Knowledge

倘若他真的睿智，就不会令你们进入他智慧的殿堂，而是指引你们跨越自己思想的门槛。

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. ---- On Teaching

有些人说话，却缺乏知识与洞察力地来阐述一个他们自己并不明白的真理。那些心怀真理的人，从不付诸言语。在这些人的胸中，灵魂寄居在节奏和谐的静谧里。

There are those who talk, and without knowledge or forethought reveal a truth themselves do not understand. And there are those who have the truth within them, but they tell it not in words. In the bosom of such as these the spirit dwell rhythmic silence. ---- On Talking

美是凝视自己镜中之影的永恒。然而，你们就是永恒，你们就是镜子。

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror. ---- On Beauty

《沙与沫》

斯芬克司仅说过一次话。他说：“一粒沙子是一片沙漠，一片沙漠是一粒沙子。现在就让我们再次沉默吧。”

死亡先知

The Sphinx spoke only once, and the Sphinx said, "A grain of sand is a desert, and a desert is a grain of sand; and now let us all be silent again."

神啊，让我做狮子的祭品吧，不然就让兔子成为我的俘食吧。

Make me, oh, God, the prey of the lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey.

你最华丽的衣衫是他人编织的；你最可口的饭菜是在他人餐桌上尝到的；你最舒适的床铺是在他人房子里安置的。现在请告诉我，你如何能与他人区别呢？

Your most radiant garment is of the other person's weaving; Your most savory meal is that which you eat at the other person's table; Your most comfortable bed is in the other person's house. Now tell me, how can you separate yourself from the other person?

如果你的心是一座火山，又怎能期望花朵绽放在你的手上？

If your heart is volcano how shall you expect flowers to bloom in your hands?

还有比过分关注别人的过失更大的过失吗？

Is there a greater fault than being conscious of the other person's faults?
