If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.

  • -- Francis Quarles 夸尔斯

你若喜爱神和人的爱,就当谦卑。因为骄傲的心,除了自己不爱别人,别人也不爱他。在美德、力量和理智都不能战胜的地方,谦逊才能发挥作用。
