“Eternal vigilance,” it has been said, “is the price of liberty.” With equal truth, it may be said, “Unceasing effort is the price of success.”If we do not work with our might, others will, and they will outstrip us in the race, and pluck the prize from our grasp.

Thanks, Pat.

Take bread away from me, if you wish.

我可以失去面包。

Take air away, but do not take from me

your laughter.

甚至空气，可是，我不能失去你的欢笑。

Do not take away the rose, the lance flower that you pluck,

也不能失去你采摘的玫瑰和枪头花，

the water that suddenly bursts forth in joy,

还有小溪般奔涌的激情，

the sudden wave of silver born in you.

和你银色浪花般的风韵。

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
