亨利·戴维·梭罗：瓦尔登湖·摘录 123
亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 认知 · 行动 · 健康
How can a man be satisfied to entertain an opinion merely, and enjoy _it?_ Is there any enjoyment in it, if his opinion is that he is aggrieved? If you are cheated out of a single dollar by your neighbor, you do not rest satisfied with knowing you are cheated, or with saying that you are cheated, or even with petitioning him to pay you your due; but you take effectual steps at once to obtain the full amount, and see that you are never cheated again. Action from principle,—the perception and the performance of right,—changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. It not only divided states and churches, it divides families; aye, it divides the _individual_, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.

白话
一个人怎能满足于仅仅持有一种观点并乐在其中？如果你的观点是自己受了委屈，这有什么可享受的？假如邻居骗了你一美元，你不会只满足于知道被骗、嘴上说说，甚至不会只请他还钱；你会立刻采取有效步骤拿回全款，并确保不再被骗。基于原则的行动——即认识到对错并付诸实践——会改变事物和关系；它本质上是革命性的，不会完全安于现状。它不仅分裂国家和教会，也分裂家庭，甚至分裂个人，把人心中的魔性与神性分开。所以，光有正确看法不够，必须行动。
上下文
梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中强调行动高于空谈，针对当时废奴主义者只表态不行动的风气。
