The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.
人生之中的勇气，常常不像千钧一发时刻的勇气那样充满戏剧性;但是它却同样是一个有关胜利与悲剧的壮观结合 体。一个人要去做他必须做的任何亊情——将个人得失置之度 外,将诸多的障碍、危险和压力拋在脑后一这便是人类一切道 德的基础。
To be courageous , requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever maybe the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience - the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men - each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient, they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this ,each man must look into his own soul.
勇气，不需要额外的条件，也没有奇妙的规则，同样也不需要时间、地点和情势的特意结合,我们每个人迟早都会遇到这 样一个机会。政治只不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个场所罢了。无论在人生的何种场合下遭遇勇气的挑战，也不论为了遒 从自己的良知而将面对的牺牲——朋友、财富和满足的丧失，甚至于其他人对你的敬重——每个人都必须自己决断其所遵行的 方针路线。他人勇敢的故事可以阐释那个因素——能够教导我 们，为我们提供希望和灵感，但却不能给予我们勇气。因此，每 个人必须深入到自己的灵魂之中去寻找勇气。
