People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.

  • -- André Maurois 安德烈·毛罗斯

人是由你塑造的。轻蔑的目光会使一个智力一般的人变成一个十足的傻瓜。一种轻蔑的冷漠变成了敌人,一个女人,如果受到良好的对待,可能会成为天使。
