1. If the past has taught us anything, it is that every cause brings its effect, and every action has a consequence.
历史告诉我们，凡事皆有因，凡事必有果。
2. We Chinese have a saying: "If a man plants melons, he will reap melons; if he sows beans, he will reap beans."

3. This adage applies to everyone's life; good begets good, and evil leads to evil.
善有善报，恶有恶报，这是一个不争的事实。
4. True enough, the sun shines on both the saint and the sinner alike, but too often it seems that the wicked prosper.
的确，神圣的人和罪恶之徒都能同时沐浴阳光，但我们常常看到恶人似乎得志。
5. However, we can say with certainty that, as with individuals, so with nations, the apparent prosperity of the wicked is an illusion. For life, unceasingly, keeps a record of us all.

7. Character cannot be counterfeited, nor can it be donned or discarded as if it were a garment to suit the whim of the moment.
性格不能伪装，也不能因为一时的念头而随意地添加或抛弃。
8. Like the markings on wood that are ingrained in the very heart of the tree, character requires time and nurturing for growth and development.
正如年轮深深地植于树木的内部，性格的养成需要时间和培养。
9. Thus, day by day, we write our own destiny; inexorably, we become what we do.
因此，日积月累，我们在书写自己的命运；行为决定身份，这是一个不容改变的事实。

我相信这是人生的最高哲学和原则。
