六十耳順 /尊重他人
晚年胡適問胡頌平
你們教國文的 怎麼解釋"耳順"?.....
胡適那時認為"耳順"就是容忍異已或逆耳之言......
當然他更知到這生命意義
近 代美國教育家菲普斯（ William Lyon Phelps,1865-1943 ）說過這麼一句智慧之言，很可以作為大家的參考。他是這樣講的：「君子的最終考驗，就是 看他是否能尊重那些對自己可能一無用處的 人。」（ The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.）
《論語· 為政第二》講要
子曰：吾，十有五，而志于學，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳順，七十而從心所欲，不踰矩。 皇邢二《疏》皆說，此章是孔子隱聖同凡，勸人勤學。 ..Quotes
"The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.""The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others."
"God speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the Son of Man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing."
"I am glad my ancestors arrived on the Mayflower, but I am gladder that there are nine generations between us."
"The Gateway to Christianity is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ."
"I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget."
"If you develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself to accomplish virtually anything, including those things that other people are certain are impossible."
"The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others."
"If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything."
"This is the first test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him."
The professor asked his students to discuss the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins' "sprung rhythm" technique. One young man handed in his exam reading, "Only God knows the answer to your question. Merry Christmas." Professor Phelps returned the paper after Christmas with the note, "Happy New Year. God gets an A--you get an F."
