In all societies, it is advisable to associate if possible with the highest; not that the highest are always the best, but because, if disgusted there, we can descend at any time; but if we begin with the lowest, to ascend is impossible.

  • -- Charles Caleb Colton 英国作家科尔顿

在所有的社会中,如果可能的话,最好与最高的人交往;并不是说最高的总是最好的,而是因为,如果我们厌恶那里,我们可以随时下降;但是如果我们从最低的开始,提升是不可能的。
