世界不是从他想象的地方运行的。不是从城堡的墙壁,而是从账房,不是由号角的呼唤,而是由算盘的点击,不是由大刀的磨擦和点击,而是由笔的刮擦。
The world is not run from where he thinks. Not from castle walls, but from countinghouses, not by the call of the bugle but by the click of the abacus, not by the grate and click of the broadsword but by the scrape of the pen.
一个良好的世界需要知识、善良和勇气;它不需要对过去的后悔,也不需要被无知之人长时间前说过的话所束缚的自由智慧。
