Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

The most successful societies in the world are those that have been able to combine a strong state with the rule of law and democratic accountability.

译文：知道有过错，能够改正，就是圣人的忠实弟子；憎恶坏人干坏事过甚而言辞激烈，终究会成为君子的最大的过失。赏析：人无完人，人都会犯错，犯错不可怕，可怕的是我们不会从失败中吸取经验和教训，让错误更加严重。坏人让人讨厌，这是人之常情，但坏人干坏事，迟早会遭到上天的惩罚。如果我们和坏人辨是非，论对错，反而会害了自己，因为坏人做事从来没有章法可循。

The most successful societies are those that have been able to balance the need for a strong state with the need for individual freedom.
