If you do what you should not, you
must hear what you would not.
若做了不应做之事,则必然会听见不愿听之语。
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess
a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.
唯有有教养者方知如何承认错误,或意识到自己行为中的错误。
Each year one vicious habit rooted out, in time
might make the worst man good throughout.
每年根除一恶习,恶棍亦会成完人。(摘自《格言篇》富兰克林著
