Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage and determination.
– John Luther Long, Writer
好的性格比出色的才華更值得讚揚,大部分的才華,某種程度上,都是與生俱來的禮物。好的性格相較之下,不是天生就擁有,我們得慢慢建立它 – 透過思考、選擇、勇氣以及決心。
– 約翰‧隆恩 (1861-1927) 美國律師及作家,他以妹妹出訪日本所見所聞,根據史實所改篇的短篇小說《蝴蝶夫人》為其最知名著作,後來改編為全球著名的歌劇之一。
