不读书的人并不比不识字的人强。

And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.Literary and Other Notes I, Woman’s World （November 1887）

读书人不能不心胸宽广意志刚强，因为肩负重任而且征途遥远。他把实现仁的理想作为自己的使命，担子难道不重吗？他为这种理想而奋斗，直到死去为止，路途难道不远吗？
