Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become.

  • -- Brooke Westcott 布鲁克·韦斯科特

伟大的场合不会造就英雄或懦夫;他们只是在男人的眼前揭开面纱。在我们醒着或睡着的时候,我们在不知不觉中变得坚强或软弱;最终,一些危机显示出我们已经变成了什么样子。
