| 96 | 96 | 96．好的判断力
好的判断力是理性的要素，谨慎的基石，有了它你才能轻松地获得成功。它是上天的恩赐，它是第一位的，也是最好的。出色的判断力是我们的甲胄，缺了它，人们会说我们脑袋不灵；没有它，我们会失去很多。我们生命中的一切行动都要靠它的指导和认可，因为一切都依赖于智力。它天生就倾向于一切最符合理性最得体的事情。 | 96 The highest Discretion.
It is the throne of reason, the foundation of prudence: by its means success is gained at little cost. It is a gift from above, and should be prayed for as the first and best quality. ’Tis the main piece of the panoply, and so important that its absence makes a man imperfect, whereas with other qualities it is merely a question of more or less. All the actions of life depend on its application; all require its assistance, for everything needs intelligence. Discretion consists in a natural tendency to the most rational course, combined with a liking for the surest. |
