Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.

  • -- Augustine of Hippo 河马的奥古斯丁

你想变得伟大吗?然后从存在开始。你想要建造一个巨大而崇高的结构吗?首先想想谦逊的基础。你的结构越高,它的基础就必须越深。
