There are two modes of establishing our reputation: to be praised by honest men, and to be abused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the former, because it will invariably be accompanied by the latter.

  • -- Charles Caleb Colton 英国作家科尔顿

有两种方式建立我们的声誉:被诚实的人赞扬,和被流氓滥用。然而,确保前者是最好的,因为后者总是伴随着前者。
