If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

  • -- Henry David Thoreau 亨利·大卫·梭罗

如果一个人每天有一半的时间是为了爱他们而在树林里散步，那么他就有可能被认为是一个游手好闲的人。但如果他把自己的时间花在投机上，在她之前砍掉那些树木，让地球光秃秃的，他就被认为是一个勤奋进取的公民。
