The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper. 人们泰然自若地承受接踵而至的灾难,并不是由于感觉迟钝,而是由于具有崇高和英勇的品质,这时,尽管在厄运中,心灵美仍放射出灿烂光辉。
the wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds, by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes, by instinct. 聪明人循理智办事,平常人照经验办事,蠢人按需要办事,畜生凭本能办事。
