To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

  • -- Thomas Carlyle 托马斯·卡莱尔

要改革一个世界,改革一个国家,没有一个明智的人会这样做;除了愚蠢的人,所有的人都知道,唯一可靠的,虽然是一个缓慢得多的改革,是每个人开始和完善自己。
