译文：知道的闲事和结识的闲人越多，招惹的是非烦恼就越多。赏析：人要多做事，少说话，不去结交造谣生事，说三道四，品行极差的人。

A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else. Men’s happiness or misery is most part of their own making. He, whose mind directs not wisely, will never take the right way; and he, whose body is crazy and feeble, will never be able to advance in it.
