Version-2
"Two things fill the heart with renewed and increasing awe and reverence the more often and the more steadily that they are meditated on: the starry skies above me and the moral law inside me."
Existing Chinese version:
"There are two These things, the more deeply and persistently I think about them, the wonder and awe they arouse in my soul will grow and grow with each passing day. This is the starry sky above me and the moral law in my heart. ”
< p> Ancient Chinese version (Qian Kunqiang)There are two things, which are always in the heart; revere them and fear them, and you will learn more about them day by day: the external ones are like the bright starry sky, and the internal ones are like moral laws.
