A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.

  • -- Frederick William Robertson 弗雷德里克·威廉·罗伯逊

沉默的人容易被认为是智者。如果一个人不愿意让别人看见他在日常生活中挤来挤去,不愿脱下外衣,那么他很容易就会被一层神秘的、不为人知的圣洁的面纱所笼罩,人们就会把他当作圣人来尊敬他。
