7. 初期教會著名的殉道士坡旅甲(Polycarp)曾說:「我服事基督八十六年,祂從未虧待我;對這位拯救我的君王,我豈可開口褻瀆祂?」(Fourscore and six years have I served him, and he has never done me injury; how then can I now blaspheme my King and savior?)求上主垂憐。
我想起诺贝尔文学奖得主萧伯纳(George B. Shaw)曾说:「理性的人改变自己适应世界;不理性的人试图改变世界顺应自己。因此,所有进步都依赖不理性的人达成」(“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”)
