To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy,
to inferiors nobleness.
对上级谦恭是义务,对同级谦恭是礼数,对下级谦恭是杰出。
Two faults of one a fool will make; he half repairs,
that owns and does forsake.
傻瓜总是错上加错;智者则能有错即改,得以补过。
Pride gets into the coach, and shame mounts behind.
傲慢登上马车,耻辱随后爬上。
Vain-glory flowereth, but beareth no fruit.
虚荣开花,却不结果。(摘自《格言篇》富兰克林著 刘荣跃编译)
