यह कहा गया है कि सच्चा धर्म इंसान को यूरोप के तमाम राजदरबारों की तुलना में कहीं अधिक बेहतर और सच्चा सज्जन बना देता है। और यह सच है कि आप साधारण मजदूरों को भी किसी ड्यूक जितने ही संभ्रांत और सज्जन देख सकते हैं, सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि उन्होंने ईश्वर से डरना सीख लिया है; और उससे डरते हुए खुद पर संयम रखना सीख लिया है, जो कि हर अच्छी परवरिश की मूल जड़ और सार है।

It has been said that true religion will make a man a more thorough gentleman than all the courts in Europe. And it is true that you may see simple laboring men as thorough gentlemen as any duke, simply because they have learned to fear God; and, fearing him, to restrain themselves, which is the very root and essence of all good breeding.

मैं इस बात से वाकिफ नहीं हूँ कि भुगतान या कोई भी एहसान, चाहे कितना भी अच्छा क्यों न हो, उच्चतम नैतिकता और सर्वोच्च महत्व के मामलों में किसी भी व्यक्ति की आत्मा और अंतरात्मा को बांध सकता है।

ईसाई युग के चार सौ तेरहवें वर्ष में, सिकंदरिया से लगभग तीन सौ मील ऊपर, युवा भिक्षु फिलामोन उड़ती हुई रेत से घिरी हुई अंतर्देशीय चट्टानों की एक छोटी श्रृंखला के किनारे पर बैठा था।

अब, अपनी कहानी सुनाने के लिए—भले ही वैसे न सुनाई जाए जैसे इसे सुनाया जाना चाहिए, कम से कम वैसे जैसे मैं इसे सुना सकता हूँ—मुझे सोलह साल पीछे उन दिनों में जाना होगा जब व्हिटबरी में एक रेलवे के बजाय रोज चालीस गाड़ियाँ हुआ करती थीं, और यह बताना होगा कि इसके दक्षिणी उपनगर में, कैसे दो सुहावने घर आमने-सामने हुआ करते थे, जिनके बगीचे व्हिट नदी की ओर ढलान पर उतरते थे, और वे केवल एक ऊँची ईंटों की फल-दीवार से एक-दूसरे से अलग होते थे, जिसके बीच में आने-जाने के लिए एक दरवाजा हुआ करता था; क्योंकि दोनों रहने वाले पक्के दोस्त थे।

Now, to tell my story--if not as it ought to be told, at least as I can tell it,--I must go back sixteen years, to the days when Whitbury boasted of forty coaches per diem, instead of one railway, and set forth how in its southern suburb, there stood two pleasant house side by side, with their gardens sloping down to the Whit, and parted from each other only by the high brick fruit-wall, through which there used to be a door of communication; for the two occupiers were fast friends.

इसलिए, आइए हम धैर्य रखें, पूरी तरह धैर्य रखें; और ईश्वर हमारे पिता को अपने तरीके से अपना पाठ पढ़ाने दें। आइए हम इसे अच्छी तरह और जल्दी से सीखने की कोशिश करें; लेकिन हम यह न सोचें कि वह स्कूल की घंटी बजाएंगे और हमारा पाठ पूरा होने से पहले ही हमें खेलने के लिए भेज देंगे।

Therefore, let us be patient, patient; and let God our Father teach His own lesson, His own way. Let us try to learn it well and quickly; but do not let us fancy that He will ring the school-bell, and send us to play before our lesson is learnt.

धीरे-धीरे डूबी हुई भूमि फिर से ऊपर उठने लगती है, और शायद फिर से नीचे बैठ जाती है, और उसके बाद फिर से ऊपर उठती है, हर बार पहले से अधिक धीरे-धीरे, यहाँ तक कि मानो अपनी आग से भरी जवानी के भयंकर आवेगों से थकी हुई हांफती हुई धरती ने एक बार फिर सिसकते हुए खुद को सुला लिया हो, और मनुष्य की यह नई दुनिया रच दी जाती है।

हमें किताबों का आदर करना चाहिए; उन्हें उपयोगी और शक्तिशाली चीज़ों के रूप में देखना चाहिए। यदि वे अच्छी और सच्ची हैं, चाहे वे धर्म, राजनीति, खेती, व्यापार, कानून या चिकित्सा के बारे में हों, तो वे सभी चीज़ों के रचयिता और सभी सत्यों के शिक्षक—मसीह का संदेश हैं।

मैं शायद ही ऐसी किसी मानवीय स्थिति की कल्पना कर सकता हूँ जो उस व्यक्ति से अधिक ईर्ष्या के योग्य हो, जिसके लिए बदबूदार प्रयोगशाला में हांफते हुए, या उष्णकटिबंधीय जंगल में अपनी जान जोखिम में डालकर पहरा देते हुए, आइसिस देवी एक पल के लिए अपना पवित्र घूँघट उठाती हैं और उसे एक बार हमेशा के लिए वह चीज़ दिखा देती है जिसकी उसने कभी कल्पना भी नहीं की थी; कोई नियम, या किसी नियम का मात्र एक संकेत, जो किसी एक तथ्य की व्याख्या करता है; लेकिन उसके साथ ही हज़ारों अन्य तथ्यों की भी व्याख्या करता है, उन सबको एक-दूसरे से और उस महान ब्रह्मांड से जोड़ देता है, यहाँ तक कि बिखरे हुए अवलोकनों के किसी पुराने अराजक ढेर में एक व्यवस्था और अर्थ जाग उठता है।

I can conceive few human states more enviable than that of the man to whom, panting in the foul laboratory, or watching for his life under the tropic forest, Isis shall for a moment lift her sacred veil, and show him, once and for ever, the thing he dreamed not of; some law, or even mere hint of a law, explaining one fact; but explaining with it a thousand more, connecting them all with each other and with the mighty whole, till order and meaning shoots through some old Chaos of scattered observations.

नी की एक हल्की सी गोली से कितने ही गंभीर पारिवारिक झगड़े, गुस्से में आकर की गई शादियाँ और वसीयतों में होने वाले बदलाव टल सकते थे! सोचिए, हैम्लेट और ओथेलो जैसे किरदारों को कितनी भयंकर पुरानी बदहजमी थी! अगर समाज से बदहजमी और शराब को हमेशा के लिए हटा दिया जाए, तो कोई अपराध नहीं बचेगा, या कम से कम इतना कम कि उसका जिक्र करना भी जरूरी न लगे।

How many serious family quarrels, marriages out of spite, and alterations of wills, might have been prevented by a gentle dose of blue pill!-What awful instances of chronic dyspepsia in the characters of Hamlet and Othello!

If you wish to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you, what people think of you; and then to you nothing will be pure.

sangeet. — sangeet mein kuch bahut hi adbhut hai. shabad apne aap mein kafi adbhut hain: par sangeet usse bhi zyada adbhut hai. yeh shabdon ki tarah hamare vichaaron se nahi bolta: yeh sidhe hamare dilon aur aatmaon se baat karta hai, hamari aatma ki jad aur gahrai tak pahunchta hai. sangeet humein shanti deta hai, humein utsahit karta hai; yeh hamare andar nek bhavnayein jagata hai; humein anjane mein hi aansuon se pighla deta hai; — yeh apne aap mein ek aisi bhasha hai, jo apni jagah par utni hi purna hai jitni boli ya shabad; utni hi divya hai, utni hi kalyankari hai.

Music. – There is something very wonderful in music. Words are wonderful enough: but music is even more wonderful.

You are still God's child, still an immortal soul. You may rise yet. and fight a good fight yet, and be a man once more, after the likeness of God who made you, and Christ who died for you!

And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.

daya rakhein; dhairya rakhein; kripa rakhein. kisi bhi insaan ko, chahe woh kitna bhi murkh, agyani, ya kamzor kyon na ho—aur khas kar kisi chhote bachhe ko—kabhi bhi sharminda ya apmanit na karein. apni chidchidepan se, shak se, majak udate hue, ya yahan tak ki apne swarthi aur murkhalpan mein jaldbazi karke—aur sabse badhkar kisi ka mjak banane ke shaitani aanand mein dubkar—kisi bhi insaan ke dil mein jo sabse acchi cheez hai use kabhi na kuchle aur jo sabse buri cheez hai use na jagaye.

Have charity; have patience; have mercy. Never bring a human being, however silly, ignorant, or weak--above all, any little child--to shame and confusion of face.

What is the commonest, and yet the least remembered form of heroism? The heroism of an average mother. Ah! when I think of that broad fact I gather hope again for poor humanity, and this dark world looks bright, this diseased world looks wholesome to me once more, because, whatever else it is or is not full of, it is at least full of mothers.

christ ka suli par latke hona aur uske bare mein ek sacha vichar karna, iske barabar kuch nahi hai. yeh humein batata hai ki unhone kitna dukh saha, kitna sahan kiya, kitna jeeta, aur bhagwan ne humse kitna prem kiya, jinhone apne ekmatra putr ko bhi nahi bachaya aur use hamare liye khushi-khushi daan kar diya. kya hum aise bhagwan par shak karne ki himmat kar sakte hain? kya hum aise bhagwan ke khilaf shiqayat kar sakte hain?

So that nothing is to be compared for value with goodness; that riches, honor, power, pleasure, learning, the whole world and all in it, are not worth having in comparison with being good; and the utterly best thing for a person is to be good, even though they were never to be rewarded for it.

क्या पिछले पच्चीस वर्षों तक विद्वान लोग यह नहीं मानते थे कि उड़ने वाला अजगर (ड्रैगन) एक असंभव बला है? और क्या अब हम यह नहीं जानते कि इस दुनिया में ऐसे सैंकड़ों जीव जीवाश्मों के रूप में पाए गए हैं? लोग उन्हें टेरोडैक्टिल कहते हैं: लेकिन ऐसा सिर्फ इसलिए है क्योंकि वे इतने लंबे समय तक उड़ने वाले ड्रैगनों के अस्तित्व से इनकार करने के बाद, अब उन्हें उड़ने वाले ड्रैगन कहने में शर्म महसूस करते हैं।

और किसी को भी यह कहने का अधिकार नहीं है कि जल-परी (वाटर-बेबी) जैसी कोई चीज़ अस्तित्व में नहीं है, जब तक कि उसने जल-परी के अस्तित्व में न होने को खुद न देख लिया हो; जो कि, ज़रा ध्यान दीजिए, जल-परी को न देखने से बिल्कुल अलग बात है; और एक ऐसी बात है जिसे न तो कभी किसी ने किया है और शायद ही कभी कोई कर पाएगा। लेकिन यकीन मानिए... वे उसे स्पिरिट में डालकर, या 'इलस्ट्रेटेड न्यूज़' में छापकर, या शायद उस प्यारे से छोटे मासूम टुकड़े को बीच से काटकर आधा-आधा करके, एक हिस्सा प्रोफेसर ओवेन को और दूसरा हिस्सा प्रोफेसर हक्सले को भेज देते, ताकि वे दोनों इस पर अपनी-अपनी राय दे सकें।

And no one has the right to say that no water-babies exist, till they have seen no water-babies existing; which is quite a different thing, mind, from not seeing water-babies; and a thing which nobody ever did, or perhaps will ever do. But surely ... they would have put it into spirits, or into the Illustrated News, or perhaps cut it into two halves, poor dear little thing, and sent one to Professor Owen, and one to Professor Huxley, to see what they would each say about it.

यदि तुम अपने पापों के खिलाफ लड़ रहे हो, तो भगवान भी तुम्हारे साथ लड़ रहे हैं। तुम्हारे पक्ष में वह ईश्वर है जिसने सब कुछ बनाया, वह मसीह है जो सबके लिए मरे, और वह पवित्र आत्मा है जो अकेली ज्ञान, पवित्रता और महानता देती है।

If thou art fighting against thy sins, so is God. On thy side is God who made all, and Christ who died for all and the Spirit who alone gives wisdom, purity, and nobleness.

क्या आपको लगता है कि कोई मनुष्य परमेश्वर की आत्मा द्वारा तब नया बन जाता है, जब कुछ धार्मिक जुमलों और थोड़ी बहुत बाहरी इज़्ज़त-आबरू को छोड़ दिया जाए, तो वह अंदर से वही पुराना इंसान और अपने मूल स्वभाव में बिल्कुल वैसा ही रहता है जैसी उसकी पुरानी आदतें थीं?

Do you think that a man is renewed by God's Spirit, when except for a few religious phrases, and a little more outside respectability, he is just the old man, the same character at heart he ever was?

ओह इंग्लैंड अमीर और ऊँचे ओहदे वालों के लिए एक सुहावनी जगह है, लेकिन इंग्लैंड मुझ जैसे गरीब लोगों के लिए एक बहुत ही बेरहम जगह है।

बिल्ली को मारने के और भी कई तरीके हैं, न कि उसे सिर्फ मलाई से गला घोंटकर मारना।

मेरे मित्रों, आइए हम अपने उद्धारकर्ता के कदमों पर चलने का प्रयास करें; आइए हम हर पल याद रखें कि इंसान होने का क्या मतलब है; इसका मतलब यह है कि हमारी मुलाकात जिससे भी हो, वह परमेश्वर की नज़र में हमारा भाई है; इसका मतलब यह है कि हम कभी किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति से न मिल सकें, चाहे वह कितना भी बुरा क्यों न हो, जिसके लिए हम यह न कह सकें: "मसीह उस इंसान के लिए भी मरे, और मसीह आज भी उसकी परवाह करते हैं। वह परमेश्वर की नज़रों में अनमोल है, और वह मेरी नज़रों में भी अनमोल रहेगा।"

My friends, let us try to follow the Saviour's steps; let us remember all day long what it is to be men; that it is to have every one whom we meet for our brother in the sight of God; that it is this, never to meet anyone, however bad he may be, for whom we cannot say: "Christ died for that man, and Christ cares for him still. He is precious in God's eyes, and he shall be precious in mine also".

एक इंसान बाइबल से इतना बेहतरीन जेंटलमैन बनना सीख सकता है जितना कि वह लंदन के तमाम ड्राइंग रूम्स में रहकर भी नहीं सीख सकता।

क्या देवता इंसानों से भी ज़्यादा क्रूर हैं? क्या जवानी के लिए उनके दिल में कोई दया नहीं है? जो आत्माएँ उनसे प्रेम करती रही हैं, क्या उनके लिए उनके मन में कोई प्यार नहीं है?

Are gods more ruthless than mortals? Have they no mercy for youth? no love for the souls who have loved them?

मानusano के काम कितनी जल्दी मिट जाते हैं, वे वापस अपनी मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं; प्राचीन और पवित्र चीजें किसी सपने की तरह धुंधली हो जाती हैं।

हाँ, विवाह एक आजीवन चमत्कार है, वह खुद को जन्म देने वाला ऐसा विस्मय है जो रोज़ नया होता है।

ढांढस बंधाइए, और याद रखिए कि आप और मैं भले ही बहुत कम जानते हों, पर ईश्वर सब जानता है; वह खुद को, आपको, मुझे और हर चीज़ को जानता है; और उसकी दया उसकी हर रचना पर बरसती है।

Take comfort, and recollect however little you and I may know, God knows; He knows Himself and you and me and all things; and His mercy is over all His works.

एक कुलीन महिला; इस शब्द से मेरा तात्पर्य उस आदर्श शिक्षा के परिणाम से है जो शिष्टाचार और सलीके में हर इशारे तक झलकती है; भगवान न करे कि मुझ जैसा एक कवि होने का दावा करने वाला व्यक्ति कभी इसका अवमूल्यन करे। यह सुंदर है, और इसलिए मैं सौंदर्य के रचयिता के नाम पर इसका स्वागत करता हूँ। मैं इसे इतना कीमती मानता हूँ कि मैं देखना चाहूँगा कि यह केवल बेलग्रेविया से लेकर किसी व्यापारी की कोठी तक ही सीमित न रहे, बल्कि वहाँ से आगे बढ़कर—जैसा कि मुझे विश्वास है कि एक दिन ऐसा होगा—यह किसी मजदूर की झोपड़ी और सिलाई करने वाली महिला की अटारी तक पहुँचे।

A fine lady; by which term I wish to express the result of that perfect education in taste and manner, down to every gesture, which heaven forbid that I, professing to be a poet, should undervalue. It is beautiful, and therefore I welcome it in the name of the author of all beauty. I value it so highly that I would fain see it extend not merely from Belgravia to the tradesman's villa, but thence, as I believe it one day will, to the laborer's hovel and the needlewoman's garret.

आप तब तक बहुत अच्छे इंसान नहीं हैं जब तक कि आप उतने अच्छे नहीं हैं जितना आपके पक्के दोस्त आपके बारे में सोचते हैं।

You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.

क्योंकि उस पवित्र असंतोष से असंतुष्ट होना और उस महान लज्जा के साथ शर्मिंदा होना, हर अच्छाई का मूल और उसका पहला अंकुर है।

For to be discontented with the divine discontent, and to be ashamed with the noble shame, is the very germ and first upgrowth of all virtue.

हम वास्तव में तभी समझदार बनेंगे जब हम संतुष्ट होना सीखेंगे; और संतुष्ट होना केवल उसी से नहीं जिसे हम समझ सकते हैं, बल्कि उससे भी जो हमारी समझ से परे है—मन की वह आदत जिसे धर्मशास्त्री सही मायनों में ईश्वर में आस्था कहते हैं।

We shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand-the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God.

भव्यता... आकार में होती है, माप में नहीं; और एक दार्शनिक की नज़र में, दो इंच लंबे कागज़ पर खींचा गया वक्र भी उतना ही भव्य और दिव्य रहस्यों तथा संगीत का प्रतीक होता है, जितना कि किसी विशाल चर्च की छत का विस्तार।

Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long, is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies, as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof.

पुराने सत्यों और पुराने रास्तों पर टिके रहिए, बीमारों की सेवा करते हुए और अपने रोजमर्रा के कामों में उनकी दिव्यता को महसूस कीजिए, और बौद्धिक पहेलियों से अपने मन को उलझाइए मत, जो अविश्वास को तो जन्म दे सकती हैं लेकिन कभी भी जीवंत धर्म या व्यावहारिक उपयोगिता को नहीं।

Stick to the old truths and the old paths, and learn their di- vineness by sick-beds and in every-day work, and do not darken your mind with intellectual puzzles, which may breed disbelief, but can never breed vital religion or practical usefulness.

मैं जो चाहता हूँ, वह यह नहीं कि मेरे पास कोई धर्म हो, बल्कि यह कि कोई ऐसा धर्म हो जो मुझ पर छा जाए।

What I want is, not to possess religion, but to have a religion that shall possess me.

मैं केवल "विशेष कृपाओं" में ही नहीं, बल्कि पूरे ब्रह्मांड को "विशेष कृपाओं" के एक अनंत और जटिल जाल के रूप में देखता हूँ।

I believe not only in "special providences," but in the whole universe as one infinite complexity of "special providences.

हर सत्य के लिए प्रार्थना कीजिए; क्योंकि भले ही बदला हुआ हृदय "पूरी तरह दुष्ट" न हो, लेकिन अगर ईश्वर को एक पल के लिए भी भुला दिया जाए, तो वह इतना धोखेबाज जरूर है कि दुष्ट बन सके।

Pray over every truth; for though the renewed heart is not "desperately wicked," it is quite deceitful enough to become so, if God be forgotten a moment.

ये गौरवशाली चीजें—यानी शब्द—केवल मनुष्य का अधिकार हैं... शब्दों के बिना हम एक-दूसरे के दिलों और विचारों के बारे में उतना भी नहीं जान पाएंगे जितना एक कुत्ता अपने साथी कुत्ते के बारे में जानता है.... क्योंकि, अगर आप सोचेंगे, तो आप हमेशा मन ही मन शब्दों में ही सोचते हैं, भले ही उन्हें जोर से न बोलें; और उनके बिना हमारे सारे विचार महज अंधी इच्छाएँ बनकर रह जाते हैं, ऐसी भावनाएँ जिन्हें हम खुद भी समझ नहीं पाते।

These glorious things-words-are man's right alone...Without words we should know no more of each other's hearts and thoughts than the dog knows of his fellow dog....for, if you will consider, you always think to yourself in words, though you do not speak them aloud; and without them all our thoughts would be mere blind longings, feelings which we could not understand ourselves.

यदि मेरी अभिव्यक्ति कभी अस्पष्ट हो, तो यह मत समझिएगा कि मैं बहुत गहरी बात कह रहा हूँ। यदि मैं वास्तव में गहरा होता, तो पूरी दुनिया समझ जाती, भले ही वे उसकी कदर न करते। पूरी तरह से लोकप्रिय शैली ही पूरी तरह से वैज्ञानिक शैली होती है। मेरे लिए किसी बात का अस्पष्ट होना उसमें किसी खोट या भ्रम की आशंका पैदा करने का कारण होता है।

If I am ever obscure in my expressions, do not fancy that therefore I am deep. If I were really deep, all the world would understand, though they might not appreciate. The perfectly popular style is the perfectly scientific one. To me an obscurity is a reason for suspecting a fallacy.

आखिरकार, एक सज्जन की तरह दिखने जैसी भी कोई चीज होती है। कुछ ऐसे लोग होते हैं जिनके वर्ग को न तो कोई गंदगी छुपा सकती है और न ही चिथड़े, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे वे यूलिसिस को नहीं छुपा पाए थे। मैंने ऐसे लोगों को कामगारों के बीच भी बहुतायत में देखा है; लेकिन कुल मिलाकर, इस मामले में सज्जनों—जिन्हें मैं इस समय केवल अमीर नहीं कह रहा हूँ—का पलड़ा भारी रहता है। पर ईश्वर की कृपा से, यह स्थिति हमेशा के लिए नहीं रहेगी। हमें भी वही आबोहवा, पानी, व्यायाम, शिक्षा, और अच्छा समाज दीजिए, फिर देखिएगा कि यह "थकान", यह "भद्दापन" (और ऐसी ही अन्य बातें, क्योंकि इनकी लंबी फेहरिस्त है), आम आदमी की कोई स्थायी विशेषता है या महज एक इत्तेफाक।

After all, there is such a thing as looking like a gentleman. There are men whose class no dirt or rags can hide, any more than they could Ulysses. I have seen such men in plenty among workmen, too; but, on the whole, the gentleman--by whom I do not mean just now the rich--have the superiority in that point. But not, please God, forever. Give us the same air, water, exercise, education, good society, and you will see whether this "haggardness," this "coarseness" (etc., for the list is too long to specify), be an accident, or a property, of the man of the people.

देखो धरती, अपना ईस्टर मनाते हुए, वैसे ही उठ खड़ी हुई है जैसे उसके रचयिता उठे थे। जो बीज इतने लंबे समय से अंधेरे में सो रहे थे, वे आखिरकार सर्दियों की बर्फ को चीरकर बाहर आ गए हैं। ऊपर आसमान के साथ धरती भी आनंदित हो रही है।

See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose. Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping, Burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices.

आपको यह नहीं कहना चाहिए कि यह असंभव है, या वह प्रकृति के विरुद्ध है। आप नहीं जानते कि प्रकृति क्या है या वह क्या कर सकती है; और कोई नहीं जानता; यहाँ तक कि सर रॉडरिक मर्चिसन, या प्रोफेसर हक्सले, या श्री डार्विन, या प्रोफेसर फैराडे, या श्री ग्रोव, या उन महान लोगों में से कोई भी नहीं जिनका सम्मान करना अच्छे बच्चों को सिखाया जाता है। वे बहुत समझदार लोग हैं; और आपको उनकी कही हर बात को सम्मान के साथ सुनना चाहिए: लेकिन अगर वे कभी यह कहें भी—जिसका मुझे यकीन है कि वे कभी नहीं कहेंगे—कि 'वह अस्तित्व में नहीं हो सकता। वह प्रकृति के विरुद्ध है,' तो भी आपको थोड़ा रुकना चाहिए और देखना चाहिए; क्योंकि हो सकता है कि वे भी गलत हों।

You must not say that this cannot be, or that that is contrary to nature. You do not know what Nature is, or what she can do; and nobody knows; not even Sir Roderick Murchison, or Professor Huxley, or Mr. Darwin, or Professor Faraday, or Mr. Grove, or any other of the great men whom good boys are taught to respect. They are very wise men; and you must listen respectfully to all they say: but even if they should say, which I am sure they never would, 'That cannot exist. That is contrary to nature,' you must wait a little, and see; for perhaps even they may be wrong.

अन्त्य में, कहानी का मुख्य पात्र टॉम अब विज्ञान का एक महान व्यक्ति बन गया है, और वह रेलवे, भाप के इंजनों, बिजली के टेलीग्राफ, राइफल वाली तोपों आदि की रूपरेखा तैयार कर सकता है; और उसे हर चीज़ के बारे में सब कुछ पता है, सिवाय इसके कि मुर्गी का अंडा मगरमच्छ क्यों नहीं बनता, और ऐसी ही दो-तीन छोटी-छोटी बातें जिन्हें कॉकसिग्रूज के आने तक कोई नहीं जान पाएगा।

[At the end of the story, its main character, Tom] is now a great man of science, and can plan railroads, and steam-engines, and electric telegraphs, and rifled guns, and so forth; and knows everything about everything, except why a hen's egg don't turn into a crocodile, and two or three other little things that no one will know till the coming of the Cocqcigrues.

काश! हम दोनों भी बसंत की हल्की हवा के बीच बहती धारा के साथ सैर कर रहे होते; बच्चों की तरह फुसफुसाते पेड़ों की छावतल में, बैंगनी फूलों (वायलेट) से खेलते हुए।

यात्री को लगता है कि उसने पूरा देश देख लिया है। उसने देखा भी है, कम से कम उसका बाहरी हिस्सा तो देख ही लिया है; लेकिन मछुआरा ही उसका अंदरूनी रूप देखता है। केवल मछुआरे को ही समृद्ध नदी तटों के फूल, पक्षी और कीड़े-मकोड़े सीधे करीब से देखने को मिलते हैं, जो परिदृश्य का एकमात्र ऐसा हिस्सा है जहाँ कभी इंसानी दखल नहीं हुआ है।

The traveler fancies he has seen the country. So he has, the outside of it at least; but the angler only sees the inside. The angler only is brought close, face to face with the flower and bird and insect life of the rich riverbanks, the only part of the landscape where the hand of man has never interfered.

तीन मछुआरे पश्चिम की ओर नाव लेकर निकल पड़े, सूरज ढलते ही पश्चिम की ओर दूर चले गए; हर एक उस औरत के बारे में सोच रहा था जो उसे सबसे ज्यादा प्यार करती थी, और बच्चे शहर से बाहर जाते हुए उन्हें ताकते खड़े थे।

यकीन मानिए, चौदह वर्ष की आयु के बाद कोई भी व्यक्ति उस तरह का सुख या दुख कभी अनुभव नहीं करता जैसा वह उससे पहले करता है, सिवाय कुछ मामलों में, जब वह पहली बार प्रेम करता है, तब यह अहसास उसके लिए बिल्कुल नया होता है।

इसलिए मुझे राजनीतिज्ञ, स्वच्छता सुधारक और इंजीनियर दीजिए; और आप अपने संतों और देवियों, अवशेषों और चमत्कारों को अपने पास रखिए। सूत कातने वाली चरखी (स्पिनिंग-जेनी) और रेलवे, कुनार्ड के बड़े जहाज और इलेक्ट्रिक टेलीग्राफ, यदि आपके लिए नहीं तो मेरे लिए इस बात के संकेत हैं कि हम कम से कम कुछ मामलों में ब्रह्मांड के साथ तालमेल में हैं; कि हमारे बीच एक ऐसा शक्तिशाली महान संबल काम कर रहा है जो आपका वह अराजकतावादी और विध्वंसकारी शैतान नहीं हो सकता, और इसलिए वह व्यवस्था बनाने वाला और सृजन करने वाला ईश्वर हो सकता है।

So give me the political economist, the sanitary reformer, the engineer; and take your saints and virgins, relics and miracles. The spinning-jenny and the railroad, Cunard's liners and the electric telegraph, are to me, if not to you, signs that we are, on some points at least, in harmony with the universe; that there is a mighty spirit working among us, who cannot be your anarchic and destroying Devil, and therefore may be the Ordering and Creating God.

और मसीह का आनंद क्या है? वह आनंद और उल्लास जो उनके विशाल हृदय में हमेशा इस अहसास से उमड़ता रहता है कि वे सदा भलाई कर रहे हैं; सभी से प्रेम करने और सभी के लिए जीने से; यह जानने से कि भले ही सब नहीं, पर लाखों-करोड़ों लोग उनके आभारी हैं और हमेशा रहेंगे।

Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
