There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.

  • -- Niccolò Machiavelli 尼科尔·马基雅维利

有三种智慧:一种是自己理解事物,另一种是欣赏别人能够理解的东西,第三种既不是自己理解的,也不是通过别人理解的。第一类是极好的,第二类是好的,第三类是无用的。
