For men are prone to go it blind along the calf-paths of the mind To do what other men have done. They follow in the beaten track, and out and in, and forth and back, and still their devious course pursue, to keep the path that others do.

  • -- Sam Walter Foss 萨姆·沃尔特·福斯

因为人们很容易盲目地沿着头脑的幼兽之路去做别人已经做过的事。他们循着老路,进进出出,来来回回地走着,仍然走着弯路,走着别人走的路。
