Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

  • -- Epictetus 埃皮克特斯

没有一件伟大的东西是突然创造出来的,就像一串葡萄或一颗无花果。如果你告诉我你想要一颗无花果,我回答你,一定要有时间。让它先开花,然后结果,然后成熟。
