为善则流芳百世，为恶则遗臭万年。
译文：做好事就会被人传遍百世，做坏事就会被人憎恶万年。赏析：人做好事自然就有美名被传颂，人做坏事自然就会受人谴责。人做好事不仅给自己积德，更是给子孙后代积福；人做坏事不仅玷污自己的名节，更会伤害到子孙后代。
In a way, if you like, at one end of the spectrum of sympathy, you've got the tabloid newspaper. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got tragedy and tragic art. And I suppose I'm arguing that we should learn a little bit about what's happening in tragic art. It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser. He is not a loser, though he has lost. And I think that is the message of tragedy to us, and why it's so very, very important, I think.
