A frank and somewhat headlong carriage, not looking too anxiously before, not dallying in maudlin regret over the past, stamps the man who is well armoured for this world.
坦率而略带勇往直前的姿态,不过分焦虑未来,也不沉溺于对过去的感伤懊悔,才显出一个人已准备好应对这个世界。
— Robert Louis Stevenson · Virginibus Puerisque, and Other Papers · Æs Triplex —
