We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names.

  • -- Marcus Tullius Cicero 西塞罗

我们被强烈的赞美欲望所激励,一个人越优秀,他就越会受到荣誉的激励。就是哲学家自己,甚至在他们藐视荣耀所写的书上,也写上了他们的名字。
