Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage.

  • -- Charles Simmons 查尔斯·西蒙斯

正直是走向真正伟大的第一步。男人喜欢赞美,但付诸行动却很慢。要想在高位维持这种局面,需要自我否定;在任何地方,它都可能遭到反对,但它的结局是光荣的,宇宙仍将向它致敬。
