A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
谦虚
Modesty
Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
自负败坏最优秀的天才。真正的天赋和善良不会被长期忽视;即使是这样，拥有和利用好它的意识应该满足一个人，所有力量的最大魅力是谦虚。
