2009/6/29 Book 1d窗外阵阵玫瑰花香，终忍不住拍了几张。费玉清的《春天里》和图文真叫一个格格不入！但是歌词好，我喜欢。 From Maximus: self-mastery, immune to any passing whim; good cheer in all circumstances, including illness; a nice balance of character, both gentle and dignified; an uncomplaining energy for what needs to be done; the trust he inspired in everyone that he meant what he said and was well-intentioned in all that he did; proof against surprise or panic; in nothing either hurried or hesitant, never short of resource, never downcast or cringing, or on the other hand angry or suspicious; generosity in good works, and a forgiving and truthful nature; the impression he gave of undeviating rectitude as a path chosen rather than enforced; the fact that no one would never have thought himself belittled by him, or presumed to consider himself superior to him; and a pleasant humour. From my [adoptive] father: gentleness, and an immovable adherence to decision made after full consideration; no vain taste for so-called honours; stamina and perseverance; a ready ear for anyone with any proposal for the common good; to reward impartially, giving everyone their due; experience of where to tighten, where to relax; putting a stop to homosexual love of young men; a common courtesy, excusing his court from constant attendance at dinner with him and the obligation to accompany him out of town, and those kept away by some other commitment always found him no different towards them; focused and persistent in deliberation in council, never satisfied with first impressions and leaving a question prematurely; the concern to keep his friends, with no extremes of surfeit or favouritism; his own master in all things, and serene with it; foresight for the longer issues and unfussy control of the least detail; the check he put in his reign on acclamations and all forms of flattery; his constant watch on the needs of the empire, his stewardship of its resources, and his tolerance of some people's criticism in this area; no superstitious fear of the gods, nor with men any populism or obsequious courting of the mob, but a sober steadfastness in all things, and nowhere any vulgar or newfangled taste. 2009/6/16 Book1c  From Alexander the grammarian: not to leap on mistakes, or captiously interrupt when anyone makes an error of vocabulary, syntax, or pronunciation, but nearly to introduce the correct form of that particular expression by way of answer, confirmation, or discussion of the matter itself rather than its phrasing - or by some other such felicitous prompting.
Form Fronto: to understand the effect of suspicion, caprice, and hypocrisy in the exercise of absolute rule; and that for the most part these people we call 'Patricians' are somewhat short of human affection.
From Alexander the Platonist: rarely, and never without essential cause, to say or write to anyone that 'I am too busy'; nor to use a similar excuse, advancing 'pressure of circumstances', in constant avoidance of the proprieties inherent in our relations to our fellows and contemporaries.
From Catulus: not to spurn a friend's criticism, even if it may be an unreasonable complaint, but to try to restore his usual feelings; to speak of one's teachers with wholehearted gratitude, as it recorded of Domitius and Athenodotus; and a genuine love for children. 2009/6/3 Book 1bFrom Apollonius: moral freedom, the certainty to ignore the dice of fortune, and have no other perspective, even for a moment, than that of reason alone, to be always the same man, unchanged in sudden pain, in the loss of a child, in lingering sickness; to see clearly in his living example that a man can combine intensity and relaxation; not to be impatient in explanation; the observance of a man who clearly regarded as the least of his gifts his experience and skill in communicating his philosophical insights; the lesson of how to take apparent favours from one's friends, neither compromised by them nor intensitive in their rejection.
From Sextus: a kindly disposition, and the pattern of a household governed by paterfamilia; the concept of life liveed according to nature; an unaffected dignity; intuitive concern for his friends; tolerance both of ordinary people and of the emptily opinionated; an agreeable manner with all, so that the pleasure of his conversation was greater than any flattery, and his very presence brought him the highest respect from all the company; certainty of grasp and method in the discovery and orgnization of the essential principles of life; never to give the impression of anger or any other passion, but to combine complete freedom from passion with the greastest human affection; to praise without fanfare, and to wear great learning lightly. Book 1aFrom my grandfather Verus: decency and a mild temper.
From what they say and I remember of my natural father: integrity and manliness.
From my mother: piety, generosity, the avoidance of wrong-doing and even the thought of it; also simplicity of living, well clear of the habits of the rich.
From my great-grandfather: not to have attended schools for the public; to have had good teachers at home, and to realize that this is the sort of thing on which one should spend lavishly.
From my tutor: not to become a Green or Blue supporter at the races, or side with the Lights or Heavies in the amphitheatre; to tolerate pain and feel needs; to work with my own hands and mind my own business; to be deaf to malicious gossip.
From Diognetus: to avoid empty enthusiasms; to disbelieve all that is talked by miracle-mongers and quacks about incantations, exorcism of demons, and the like; not to hold quail-fights or be excited by such sports; to tolerate plain speaking; to have an affinity for philosophy, and to attend the lectures first of Baccheius, then of Tandasis and Marcianus; to write essays from a young age; to love the camp-bed, the hide blanket, and all else invloved in the Greek training.
From Rusticus: to grasp the idea of wanting correction and treatment for my charactor; not to be diverted into a taste for rhetoric, so not writing up my own speculations, delivering my own little moral sermons, or presenting a glorified picture of the ascetic or the ohilanthropist; to keep clear of speechifying, versifying, and pretentious languages; not to walk around at home in ceremonial dress, or do anything else like that; to write letters in an unaffected style, like his own letter written to my mother from Sinuessa; to be readily recalled to conciliation with those who have taken offence, just as soon as they themselves are willing to turn back; to read carefully, not satisfied with my own superficial thoughts or quick to accept the facile views of others; to have encountered the Discourses of Epictetus, to which he introduced me with his own copy. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius是本宝书。
俺能力有限，不做书评，不写感想，只做抄录。
蓝字为未领会部分，提示回头再读。
错字肯定会不少，努力避免。 2009/6/2 Seven SistersHalf term, 暑假前的最后一个假期结束了。 今天第一天上班，监考，无聊。加上可恶讨厌的EB真让我恨不得明天就是暑假。坏情绪一直延续到回家。爆食了晚饭，情绪不见好转，肚子撑得难受。尽管难受还是有吃了一个西红柿和小T 的两块蛋糕。。。房东女儿小T从同学家回来，带回两个他们自己做的蛋糕。全家在厨房边吃蛋糕，边夸小T手艺高（确实不错，好吃）。小T被夸得像个小豆包似的，但是依然装酷，呵呵。平时让爸妈恨得咬牙切齿的孩子不知道什么时候让他们感动以下。这就是生孩子的乐趣吧，这就是为什么那么多人明知道是件苦差事儿，还是争先恐后。
我的情绪没了。
周末出去玩，以下是小胖子的近照。 超喜欢老迟给俺和大牛拍的照。
