An honest man will receive neither money nor praise, that is not
his due.
正直的人既不收受他人的钱财,也不接受他人的奉承,这些都不是他应得的。
Act uprightly, and despise calumny. Dirt may stick
to a mud wall, but not polished marble.
为人正直就不惧诽谤:污物可以沾到泥墙上,却附不到光滑的大理石上。
Calamity and prosperity are the touchstones of integrity.
不幸与幸运都是正直的试金石。(摘自《格言篇》富兰克林著
