If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. 如果你不喜欢某件事，就去改变它;如果你不能改变它，就改变你的态度。不要抱怨。

你们可以将我践踏成尘，但我仍会像尘埃一样上升。

-《我仍将奋起》

When you learn, teach. When you get, give.

当你学有所悟，就分享你的领悟，

当你业有所成，就回馈你的成就。

-《不详》

People will remember you because the way you make them feel

You may shoot me with your words,

你可以用恶毒的言语侮辱我，

You may cut me with your eyes,

你可以用仇恨的眼神藐视我

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

你也可用尽所有憎恨想法设法置我于死地，

But still, like air, I'll rise.

尽管如此，就如同这无所不在的空气一样，我仍然屹立不倒。

-《Still I Rise》

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

-《Alone》

No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

不管发生什么，不管今天看起来多么糟糕，生活都会继续，明天会更好。

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

我可以因发生在我身上的事情而改变，但是我拒绝因此堕落。

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing

-《I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings》
