In
other men we faults can spy, and blame the mote that dims their
eye; each little speck and blemish find, to our own stronger errors
blind.
我们能觉察别人的过失,指责模糊其眼的瑕疵;一丝一毫的小错我们都会发现,但却对自己的大错视而不见。
Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall
never be disappointed.
无期盼者有福,因为他从不失望。
Thou hadst better eat salt with the philosophers
of Greece, than sugar with the courtiers of Italy.
宁可和希腊哲学家一起吃盐,也不和意大利的谄媚者共同吃糖。
