Creative powers can just as easily turn out to be destructive. It rests solely with the moral personality whether they apply themselves to good things or to bad. And if this is lacking, no teacher can supply it or take its place 。
创造性力量很容易变成破坏性力量。这只取决于人们的道德人格:是用此力量做好事或做坏事。如果人们缺乏这种道德人格,则没有一种说教能够提供它或取而代之。
It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
