You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person in the world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.
你以为这些永远不会发生在你身上，不可能发生在你身上，你是世界上唯一一个这些事都不会发生的人，然后，一件接一件，它们开始发生在你身上，就像发生在其他所有人身上一样。
译文：结交朋友如果是为了脸面有光，那不如结交对自己有身心有益的朋友；教导子弟求取富贵荣华，不如告诉子弟们养成良好的品行。赏析：《大学》一书中说：自天子以至于庶人，壹是皆以修身为本。意思是说，不管是天子还是百姓，都应该把修身作为自己的立身之本。做事就是做人，人做好了，事情自然就会成。
The great question which, in all ages, has disturbed mankind, and brought on them the greatest part of their mischiefs, has been, not whether there be power in the world, nor whence it came, but who should have it.
生活的秘密在于给予。
