我只會經過這世界一次，因此，任何我能做的善事、我能向任何生靈展現的仁慈，讓我現在就做，不要讓我延遲或忽視，因為我將不會再來這裡。I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
