Tricks and treachery are the practice
if fools, that have not wit enough to be honest.
傻瓜习惯于诡计和背叛的伎俩,他们还没聪明到学会真诚待人。
If thou dost ill, the joy fades, not the pains;
if well, the pain doth fade, the joy remains.
你若作恶,消失的是快乐而非痛苦;你若行善,消失的是痛苦而快乐留驻。
How few there are who have courage enough to own
their faults, or resolution enough to mend them!
承认并改正错误,需要有足够的勇气和决心,此种人并不多见。
