人因獲讚美而前途盡毀或態度傲慢，百年或有一見；善意因不獲讚美而打消，則無時無之。Once in a century a man may be ruined or made insufferable by praise. But surely once in a minute something generous dies for want of it.

Once in a century a man may be ruined or made insufferable by praise. But surely once in a minute something generous dies for want of it. 人因獲讚美而前途盡毀或態度傲慢，百年或有一見；善意因不獲讚美而打消，則無時無之。 JOHN MASEFIELD 詩人
