A race preserves its vigour so long as it harbours a real contrast between what has been and what may be, and so long as it is nerved by the vigour to adventure beyond the safeties of the past. Without adventure, civilization is in full decay.
一个民族，只要它在过去和将来之间存在着一种真正的对比，只要它有勇气去冒险，超越过去的安全，它就能保持活力。没有冒险，文明就会完全衰落。
