A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as an individual.
一種怠惰安逸的生活,一種僅僅是由於缺少追尋偉大事物的渴望或能力而導致的悠閒生活,這對國家與個人都是毫無價值的。
We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious efforts, the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past. A man can be freed from the necessity of work only by the fact that he or his fathers before him have worked to good purpose. If the freedom thus purchased is used aright, and the man still does actual work, though of a different kind, whether as a writer or a general, whether in the field of politics or in the field of exploration and adventure, he shows he deserves his good fortune.
我們不欣賞那種怯懦安逸的人。我們欽佩那種奮力向上的人,那種永不屈待鄰人,能隨時幫助朋友,但是也具有那些剛健的品質,足以在現實生活的嚴酷鬥爭中獲取勝利的人。失敗是難以忍受的,但更為糟糕的是從來不去努力爭取成功。在人的這一生中,任何的收獲都要通過努力去得到。現在不做任何的努力,隻不過意味著在過去有過努力的積蓄。一個人不必工作,除非他或其先輩們曾經努力工作過,並取得了豐厚的收獲。假如他能夠把獲得的這種自由加以正確地運用,仍然做些實際的工作,儘管那些工作是屬於另一類的,不論是做一名作家還是將軍,不論是在政界還是在探險和冒險方麵做些事情,都表明了他沒有辜負自己的好運。
