Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

  • -- Calvin Coolidge 卡尔文·柯立芝

知识来了,智慧却迟迟不前。在相对较短的时间内在头脑中储存大量的面孔可能并不困难,但是形成判断的能力需要严格的刻苦训练和经验与成熟的磨练。
