Stray Birds

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

Do not sit your love upon a precipice because it is high.

如果玩弄爱情，人为地去制造种种的爱情悬念，那势必是让爱情悬在峭壁之上，随时都有粉身碎骨的可能。

What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.

I cannot choose the best.

The best chooses me.（自信）

冯唐版的飞鸟集有些翻译还是很不错的，排除一些别的，个人觉得下面几句就比郑振铎的好：

1.You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that

for this

I had been waiting long.

你微笑不语，这句我等了几个世纪

2.He has made his weapons his god

When his weapons win he is defeated himself

他尊他的剑为胜，剑胜了，他输了

3.Men are cruel, but man is kind.

众人是残酷的，人性是善良的
