我們常為一些應該輕視或忘記的小事而不高興，喪失很多個無法取代的鐘頭思索不悅的事，即便它在一年內就會被我們遺忘。不，讓我們將生命奉獻在有意義的行為及感覺、在偉大的想法、在真正的情愛及永恆的任務上。Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
