One's age should be tranquil, as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At midday the sun may burn, and men labor under it; but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful.

  • -- Thomas Arnold 汤玛斯·阿诺德

一个人的年龄应该是平静的,童年应该是好玩的。在生活的任何一端努力工作似乎都不合适。正午,太阳要晒伤,人要在太阳底下劳苦。但是早晨和晚上应该一样平静和愉快。
