译文：一个人值得被传颂称赞，在于他有高尚的品德，不在于他有多高的地位；一个人被众人信服，在于他做事很务实，并不在于他只会夸夸其谈。赏析：生活中，我们欣赏一个人，都是看重对方的人品和素质。而那些狡诈多端，油嘴滑舌之徒，只会让人生厌。

Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.
