201	201	201．看起来像蠢人的人多是蠢人，看起来不像蠢人的人有一半是蠢人白痴掌管着世界：若智慧尚有存余，在神眼中也只是愚蠢。最大的蠢人就是视他人为蠢人却自认不蠢之人。要成为智者，看似贤明是不够的，自觉贤明则更差。自认不知者为知，不见人之所见即无见。世界上到处是蠢人，却无一人自认为蠢，或力求不蠢。	201 They are all Fools who seem so besides half the rest. Folly arose with the world, and if there be any wisdom it is folly compared with the divine. But the greatest fool is he who thinks he is not one and all others are. To be wise it is not enough to seem wise, least of all to oneself. He knows who does not think that he knows, and he does not see who does not see that others see. Though all the world is full of fools, there is none that thinks himself one, or even suspects the fact.
202	202	202．语言和行为造就一个完美的人说得体的话，做得体的事。前者显示完美的头脑，后者显示完美的心灵，二者皆产生于卓越的精神。语言是行为的影子。语言为雌，而行动为雄。接受赞美远胜赞美他人；言易行难。行为是生命的本质，箴言只是美饰。盛名在行为中延续却在语言中消亡。行为是深思熟虑的产物。语言表现智慧，行为表现崇高。	202 Words and Deeds make the Perfect Man. One should speak well and act honourably: the one is an excellence of the head, the other of the heart, and both arise from nobility of soul. Words are the shadows of deeds; the former are feminine, the latter masculine. It is more important to be renowned than to convey renown. Speech is easy, action hard. Actions are the stuff of life, words its frippery. Eminent deeds endure, striking words pass away. Actions are the fruit of thought; if this is wise, they are effective.
203	203	203．了解与你同时代的伟人伟人为数不多。全世界仅有一只凤凰，每个世纪只有一个伟大的首领、一个完美的演说家和一个智者，数百年才得见一个贤明君主。平庸者比比皆是，鲜受敬重。杰出者屈指可数，因为他们讲求尽善尽美。品级越高，越难达到。很多人借用凯撒和亚历山大的美名，以"伟大"自居，却徒劳无益；没有业绩，那个大字眼只是大话。塞内加式的人物历来不多，赢得长久的美名的毕竟只有一个阿佩利斯。	203 Know the great Men of your Age. They are not many. There is one Ph?nix in the whole world, one great general, one perfect orator, one true philosopher in a century, a really illustrious king in several. Mediocrities are as numerous as they are worthless: eminent greatness is rare in every respect, since it needs complete perfection, and the higher the species the more difficult is the highest rank in it. Many have claimed the title “Great,” like C?sar and Alexander, but in vain, for without great deeds the title is a mere breath of air. There have been few Senecas, and fame records but one Apelles.
204	204	204．举轻若重，又要举重若轻举轻若重，又要举重若轻，以避免过分自信或自暴自弃。要避免做什么事，你只当它已经做成。但是勤奋可以征服不可能性。在危急关头，甚至不必思考，只须行动。不要为困难耗费心机。	204 Attempt easy Tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were easy. In the one case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed. For a thing to remain undone nothing more is needed than to think it done. On the other hand, patient industry overcomes impossibilities. Great undertakings are not to be brooded over, lest their difficulty when seen causes despair.
