A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
仆人
Servant
The public character of every public servant is legitimate subject of discussion, and his fitness or unfitness for office may be fairly canvassed by any person.
每一个公务员的公共性都是正当的讨论话题，任何人都可以公平地讨论他是否适合担任公职。
A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.
上帝的仆人只有一个主人。在他的主人贫穷、吝啬、被人瞧不起的那个世界里，想要成为一个富有、伟大、受人尊敬的仆人是不合适的。
Most Glorious and eternal Majesty, Thou art righteous and holy in all thou dost to the sons of men, though thou hast suffered men to condemn Thy servant, Thy servant will not condemn Thee.
你向世人所行的一切事、都是公义的、是圣洁的、是至高荣耀永远的威严。你曾任人定你的罪、仆人却不定你的罪。
The best servants of the people, like the best valets, must whisper unpleasant truths in the master's ear. It is the court fool, not the foolish courtier, whom the king can least afford to lose.
人民最好的仆人，就像最好的仆人一样，必须在主人耳边低声说出令人不快的事实。国王最不能失去的是宫廷里的傻瓜，而不是愚蠢的朝臣。
