Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it; merely to show that you have one.

  • -- Lord Chesterfield 切斯特菲尔德勋爵

永远不会比和你在一起的人更聪明,更有学问。把你的学识像你的手表一样装在私人的口袋里,不要只是把它拿出来敲它;只是为了表明你有一个。
