A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.

  • -- Sydney Smith 史密斯

这个世界因为缺乏一点勇气而失去了许多天才。每天都有一些默默无闻的人被送进坟墓，他们的胆怯使他们无法迈出第一步。

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

良好的品格比杰出的才能更值得称赞。在某种程度上，大多数才能都是一种天赋。相反，良好的品格不是赋予我们的。我们必须一步一步地建设它——通过思考、选择、勇气和决心。
