We acknowledge but one motive - to follow the truth as we know it, whithersoever it may lead us; but in our heart of hearts we are well assured that the truth which has made us free, will in the end make us glad also.

  • -- Mortimer J. Adler 莫蒂默·杰尔姆·阿德勒

我们只承认一个动机,那就是跟随我们所知道的真理,无论真理将我们带到何处;但在我们的内心深处,我们确信使我们自由的真理,最终也会使我们快乐。
