Simple, generous goodness is the best capital to found the business of this life upon. It lasts when fame and money fail, and is the only riches we can take out of this world with us.
朴实而慷慨的善良,是经营人生最好的资本。当名声与金钱都失去效力时,它仍然长存,也是我们离开这个世界时唯一能带走的财富。
— Louisa May Alcott · Little Men (1871) · John Brooke’s example —
