We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

  • -- Benjamin Franklin 本杰明富兰克林

就我们的政治利益而言，我们比世界上任何其他民族都更彻底地是一个开明的民族。我们当中的每一个人都读书，在他所处的环境中，读书是如此的容易，以致于有空闲的时间来讨论进步和获取信息。
