15、時(shí)會(huì)有一顆流星劃過夜空。父親對(duì)天文學(xué)深感興趣，當(dāng)我們探討那天晚上壯麗的夜色時(shí)，他引導(dǎo)著我思索，那種思索令我永遠(yuǎn)不能忘懷。IthinkfromthisIcametounderstandthattheremustbelawandorderinouruniverse.Thereisdesign.Mancanobserve,hecanlearntounderstand,hecanapply.Thesecretistoapplyintheinterestsofthecommongood;notforoneorforafew;nottodestroybuttobuildforallpeoples.我想正是

17、任在自己的群體中履行自己的職責(zé)，因?yàn)楹眠\(yùn)給了他們比一般人更多的機(jī)會(huì)。FromthisnodoubtcamemyownconvictionthatImustgivemorethanIreceiveandthatasatisfactorylifemustbemeasuredbyitsusefuInesstoothers.我自己的信仰也正是來自于此，我應(yīng)該更多地給予而不是領(lǐng)受，令人滿意的人生必須通過你是否對(duì)他人有用來衡量。Iremembertheexcitementengenderedbytheconversationinourhome.Allkindsofideaswereexplored;all

20、hehumanindividual.Fromthisideatheredevelopsasenseofdevotiontothecommongood.我相信所有時(shí)代最偉大的觀念之一，即最令人信服的道德力量就是個(gè)人的尊嚴(yán)和價(jià)值。為了共同利益而奉獻(xiàn)的精神就來自于這種觀念。Ibelievethatifwepulltheserathersimplebutfundamentalthingstogetherandtiethemupwithhonestyandtruth,therearenovisiblelimitstotheheightstowhichmankindcanrise.我相信如果我們把這些看似

22、哲學(xué)和生活，因此我覺得難以用言語(yǔ)來陳述我的信仰。我躊躇著，不愿在公眾面前提到我的信仰，擔(dān)心會(huì)因此留給我說教的印象。Twoconvictions,however,Ibelievehavemorethananyothersinflueneedmythinkingbothinprivateandinpubliclife.然而，我相信有兩條信念無論是在公共或是私人生活方面對(duì)我產(chǎn)生了深刻的影響。First,commonplaceasitmaysound,Iamconvincedthatwhatwegetoutoflifeisindirectproportiontowhatweputintoit.Seco

26、我的想法都不可避免地會(huì)直接影響我和他人的關(guān)系。我確信我對(duì)他人的態(tài)度表明了多少我的忠誠(chéng)、真摯、誠(chéng)實(shí)、謙恭和公正，我也鼓勵(lì)他人以同樣的態(tài)度對(duì)待我。尊重他人必被人尊重，懷疑他人必被人懷疑，嫉恨他人必遭人嫉恨。人們常說：“交友的唯一方式就是做他人的朋友。”NoneoftheblessingsofourgreatAmericanheritageofcivillibertiesisself-executing.Tomakeeffectivesuchthingsasbrotherhood,kindliness,sympathy,humandecency,thefreedomofopportunity,the

29、eintheintegrityofhisownviews.正如我所說過的，我認(rèn)為我必須幫助所有人捍衛(wèi)他們的言論自由，即使我和他們意見不同。我必須傾聽并研究責(zé)任重大的觀點(diǎn)；有時(shí)我會(huì)從中學(xué)到很多。任何個(gè)人或國(guó)家都無法獨(dú)享智慧或才能。一個(gè)人或一個(gè)國(guó)家開始驕傲自滿之日，我想，便是它令人深感憂慮之時(shí)。對(duì)他人的觀點(diǎn)置若罔聞的人事實(shí)上是對(duì)他們自己觀點(diǎn)的完整性缺乏信心。TherecanbenoquestionwithregardtotheinherentrightsofAmericanstoenjoyequaleconomicopportunityineveryfield,tosecuredecentlivi
