新渡戶稻造(Nitobe Inazo) (1862-1933)的遺言:
I ask for daily bread, but not for wealth, lest I forget the poor.
我只求上帝互我有飯食,
不求互我財富,若無我會忘記佇散赤人。
I ask for strength, but not for power, least I despise the meek,
求你互我有力量,
不求權力;若無我會看輕軟弱的人。
I ask for wisdom, but not for learning, lest I scorn the simple.
求你互我有智慧,
不求學位;若無我會看輕心靈單純的人。
I ask for a clean name, but not for fame, lest I condemn the lowly,
求你互我清白的名聲,
不求出名;若無我會看輕無地位的人。
I ask for peace of mind, but not for idle hours, lest I fail to hearken to the call of duty,
求你互我心靈的平安,
不求浪費時間;若無我會忘記佇我人生的責任。
For these and much more, O Father, do I crave, knocking at thy door; and, if I dare not enter, yet Thou canst dole out the crumbs fallen from Thy table.
主啊,我來你面前挵門,只有求你互我會當拾你桌頂落落來的餅幼就好。
