清官尤可恨

老殘遊記

贓官可恨
人人知之
清官尤可恨
人多不知

蓋贓官自知有病
不敢公然為非
清官則自以為不要錢
何所不可為剛愎自用

小則殺人
大則誤國
吾人親目所見
不知凡幾矣

General MacArthur's Prayer For His Son

Build me a son
O Lord
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid

one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat
and humble and gentle in victory
　
Build me a son
whose wishes will not take the place of deeds
a son who will know Thee and what to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge

Lead him
I pray
not in the path of ease and comfort
but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge
Here let him learn to stand up in the storm
here let him learn compassion for those who fail
　
Build me a son
whose heart will be clear
whose goal will be high

a son
who will master himself before he seeks to master other men
one who will reach into the future
yet never forget the past

And after all these things are his
add
I pray
enough of a sense of humor
so that he may always e serious
yet never take him too seriously

Give him humility
so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness
the open mind of true wisdom
and the meekness of true strength
　
Then I
his father
will dare to whisper
I have not lived in vain

為子祈文

主啊，請陶冶我的兒子，使他成為一個堅強的人，能夠知道自己什麼時候是軟弱的；使他成為一個勇敢的人，能夠在畏懼的時候認清自己，謀求補救；使他在誠實的失敗之中，能夠自豪而不屈，在獲得成功之際，能夠謙遜而溫和。

請陶冶我的兒子，使他不要以願望代替實際作為；使他能夠認識主---並且曉得自知乃是知識的基石。我祈求你，不要引導他走上安逸舒適的道路，而要讓他遭受困難與挑戰的磨鍊和策勵。讓他藉此學習在風暴之中挺立起來，讓他藉此學習對失敗的人加以同情。

請陶冶我的兒子，使他的心地純潔，目標高超;在企圖駕馭他人之前，先能駕馭自己；對未來善加籌畫，但是永不忘記過去。在他把以上諸點都已做到之後，還請賜給他充分的幽默感，使他可以永遠保持嚴肅的態度，但絕不自視非凡，過於拘執。請賜給他謙遜，使他可以永遠記住真實偉大的樸實無華，真實智慧的虛懷若谷，和真實力量的溫和蘊藉。

然後，作為他的父親的我，才敢低聲說道：「我已不虛此生！」
