Man's Guide
[英]溫斯頓·丘吉爾/Winston Churchill
在人類曆史的這一時刻，對於自然力量的控製，人類已經大大超越了以往所夢想的程度。如果人類希望的話，擺在他們麵前的是一個和平與發展的黃金年代。他們僅僅需要征服最後也是最厲害的敵人——自己。
對一個人來說，唯一的指導者是他自己的良心，記憶唯一的護衛是他行為的正直和真誠。如果在人生的旅途之中前行而沒有這個保護，是失之輕率的，因為我們常會被希望的破滅所嘲弄，但是有了這個保護，不管命運如何，我們可以永遠前進在榮譽的行列中。
我們將一起前行，前方的路很長。旅途中，我們可能會遇到一些黑暗而危險的幽穀，我們必須從那裏經過，而且還要與之進行艱苦的鬥爭。但是隻要我們堅持不懈——我們將堅持不懈——我們一定可以走出這些黑暗而危險的幽穀，進入一個人類前所未知的廣闊、溫暖而持久的光明世界。
Man in this moment of his history has emerged in greater supremacy over the forces of nature than has ever been dreamed of before. There lies before him， if he wishes， a golden age of peace and progress. He has only to conquer his last and worst enemy—himself.
The only guide to a man is his conscience； the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield， because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes， but with this shield， however the Fates may play， we march always in the ranks of honor.
We shall go forward together. The road upward is long. There are upon our journey dark and dangerous valleys， through which we have to make and fight our way. But it is sure and certain thatif we persevere， and we shall persevere， we shall come through these dark and dangerous valleys into a sunlight broader and more genial and more lasting than mankind has ever known.
