All mankind are beholden to him
that is kind to the good.
行善者,人人铭记之。
Virtue and happiness are mother and daughter.
美德和幸福犹如母女。
The sting of a reproach, is the truth of it.
指责带给你的刺痛,正是它的忠实之处。
A true great man will neither trample on a worm,
nor sneak to an emperor.
真正的伟人既不大肆践踏小人物,也不会在皇帝面前奴颜婢膝。
There is no man so bad, but he secretly respects
the good.
再坏的人都会暗自敬重好人。(摘自《格言篇》富兰克林著
