The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and they who have so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but their own dispositions will waste their lives in fruitless efforts.

生活就是被可能发生的事情的幽灵所困扰。

译文：一个人的脾气性格不平和，无论是做事还是做学问，都不可能有上进；一个人油嘴滑舌，夸夸其谈，那么这个人的品质和心术就值得怀疑了。赏析：不论是做事还是做学问，一定要平心定气，心无二用，方能有所成就。伶牙俐齿本不是坏事，但油嘴滑舌，言过其实，这样的人就应该警惕。
