喜欢责备别人的人难以维持与别人的交情,经常原谅自己过失的人永远不可能改正错误。骄傲自满的人必定失败,自我夸耀的人愚蠢可笑,自我戕害的人必然害己害人。多说话而得到好处,不如沉默而不受伤害。
天籁,风吹万窍声音不同,都是自由自在地发声或停止,毋需外力的支配。
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
