Heal the Children, Heal the World
拯救儿童,拯救世界——流行音乐之王迈克尔·杰克逊
In a world?lled with hate, we must still dare to hope. Keep hope alive. In a world?lled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world?lled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world?lled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. 即使世界充满仇恨,我们也要勇于憧憬,让希望永存;即使世界充满愤怒,我们也要敢于安慰;即使世界充满绝望,我们也要勇于梦想;即使世界充满猜疑,我们仍然敢于信任。

Heal The Kids – Oxford Speech
Oxford University, March 2001 by Michael Jackson
Thank you, thank you dear friends, from the bottom of my heart, for such a loving and spirited welcome, and thank you, Mr President, for your kind invitation to me which I am so honored to accept. I also want to express a special thanks to you Shmuley, who for 11 years served as Rabbi here at Oxford. You and I have been working so hard to form Heal the Kids, as well as writing our book about childlike qualities, and in all of our efforts you have been such a supportive and loving friend. And I would also like to thank Toba Friedman, our director of operations at Heal the Kids, who is returning tonight to the alma mater where she served as a Marshall scholar, as well as Marilyn Piels, another central member of our Heal the Kids team.
I am humbled to be lecturing in a place that has previously been filled by such notable figures as Mother Theresa, Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Robert Kennedy and Malcolm X. I've even heard that Kermit the Frog has made an appearance here, and I've always felt a kinship with Kermit's message that it's not easy being green. I'm sure he didn't find it any easier being up here than I do!
As I looked around Oxford today, I couldn't help but be aware of the majesty and grandeur of this great institution, not to mention the brilliance of the great and gifted minds
