纪伯伦诗《致孩子》

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies, but not their souls.

For their soul dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

Your mey strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
