Relation witho friendship, friendship witho power, power witho will,
will witho effect, effect witho profit, and profit witho vertue,
are not worth a farto.
无友谊的关系,无力量的友谊,无意志的力量,无影响的意志,无利益的影响,无善德的利益,皆一文不值。
Ignorance leads men into a party, and shame keeps them from getting
out again.
无知让人盲目从众,羞怯使其难以退出。
Nothing humbler than ambition, when it is about to climb.
野心要向上攀登之时是最为谦卑的。(摘自《格言篇》富兰克林著 刘荣跃编译)
