It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution.

  • -- Joseph Addison 约瑟夫·艾迪生

一个杰出的人想要逃避责难是愚蠢的，而受责难的影响是软弱的表现。古代所有的杰出人物，甚至世界上各个时代的人，都经历过这种激烈的迫害。
