If a Nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization,it expects what never was and never will be....If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free,it is the responsibility of every American to be informed."
只怕小人有才能,帮助有才的小人后患无穷;只怕君子无才,无才而处事,即使贤德又有什么补益。
The story you are about to read is a work of fiction. Remember that.
译文:对待亲戚族人刻薄寡恩的人,一定培养不出好儿孙,对待师长刻薄寡恩的人,一定培养不出好后代。赏析:对待任何人,我们都不能尖酸刻薄。说话带刺,做事冷酷的人处处树敌,处处示强,是很难有知心朋友的。处处伤害别人的人,内心没有一点怜悯同情之心,是无法培养出品行端正的子孙后代。
