你的儿女不是你的，他们是生命对自身渴望所产生的儿女。
他们经由你出生，但不是从你而来，虽然在你身边，但不属于你。
你可以给他们你的爱，而不是你的思想，因为他们有自己的思想。
庇护他们的身体，而不是他们的灵魂，因为他们的灵魂住在你梦中也无法企及的明天。
你要向他们学习，而不是使他们像你。因为生命不会后退，也不会在昨日流连。
你是弓，儿女是从你发射而出的活生生的箭。
弓箭手望着永恒之路上的箭靶，他会施全力将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。
欣喜地在弓箭手中屈曲吧！因为他爱飞翔的箭，也爱稳定的弓。
英文原文：
Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot
visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends
you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
