第33期:洛克非勒家族信条(2)
克洛菲勒是个大家族，他们得以成功的原因是什么呢？
I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.
I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond, the character--not wealth or power or position—is of supreme worth.
I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.
I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the inpidual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.
I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.
There are the principles, however formulated, for which all good men and women throughout the world, irrespective of race or creed, education, social position or occupation, are standing, and for which many of them are suffering and dying.
These are the principles upon which alone a new world recognizing the brotherhood of man the fatherhood of God can be established.
我相信真理与正义是社会秩序长久维系的基础。
我相信诺言的神圣,一句承诺应该如同契约一般有效；品格——而非财富、权势或地位——具有至为崇高的价值。
我相信报效社会是人类共同的责任；惟有在牺牲奉献的炼火中,自私自利的渣滓才能烧毁,而人类灵魂的伟大也才能发挥出来。
我相信全能博爱的上帝,不论其名称为何；而个人最高的成就,最大的幸福以及最大的作用都在符合上帝意旨的生活中才能找到。
我相信爱是世界上最伟大之物；惟有爱能够克服仇恨；公理能够而且必将战胜强权。
不管如何阐述,这些就是全世界所有善良的男女——不分种族、信仰、教育、社会地位或职业——所共同坚持的原则,而为了这些原则,他们当中许多人正饱受煎熬或濒临死亡。
惟有在这些信条的基础上 ,一个认同人类手足情和上帝慈父爱的世界才能建立起来。
