Oh, Youth: Do you know that yours is not the first generation to yearn for a life full of beauty and freedom? Do you know that all your ancestors felt as you do - and fell victim to trouble and hatred? Do you know, also, that your
fervent wishes can only find fulfillment if you succeed in attaining love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars, so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain? Open your eyes, your hearts, your hands, and avoid the poison your forebears so greedily sucked in from History. Then will all the earth be your fatherland, and all your work and effort spread forth blessings.
Albert Einstein
哦,青年:你们可知道,你们这一代并不是渴望无比美好自由的生活的第一代?你们可知道,你们的祖祖辈辈和你们感受相同--却成为烦恼和仇恨的牺牲品?还有,你们可知道,如果你们确实获得了世人、动物、植物还有星晨的爱和理解,结果各种喜悦成为你们的喜悦,各种痛苦成为你们的痛苦,你们那些热切的愿望才能得以实现?睁开你们的眼睛,敞开你们的心灵,张开你们的双手,要免遭你们的先人在历史上十分贪婪地吸取的毒害。那么普天之下到处都是你们的祖国,你们所有的工作和努力都会遍地开花,造福天下。
阿伯特·爱因斯坦
