Envy, which is the canker of honor, is best extinguished by declaring a man's self in his ends, rather to seek merit than fame; and by attributing a man's successes, rather to divine Providence and felicity, than to his own virtue or policy.

嫉妒是侵蚀荣誉的蛀虫；要消除它，最好表明自己志在实绩而非名声，并把成功更多归于天意与幸运，而非自身的才德与谋略。
