Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent; be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat; it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived.

  • -- Francis Quarles 夸尔斯

除了你的勤勉所能阻止的,别无所畏惧;对命运不能战胜的东西充满信心;害怕不可能避免的事情,就像害怕有可能被剥夺的安全一样,都是愚蠢的。
