A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

-- Marcus Aurelius 马库斯·奥雷利乌斯

一个高尚的人用一种高于自己的思想来比较和估计自己;一个卑鄙的人，比他自己还卑鄙。一个产生抱负;另一种野心，是一个庸俗的人所追求的。
