要有超凡的智慧。在任何事情上都要如此。一盎司的智慧比一磅的小聪明更有价值，这是言行举止的首要的、最高的准则。职位越高，职责就越多，就越应遵循这一准则。这是唯一稳妥的办法，尽管它未必能够赢得很多掌声。因智慧扬名天下是最大的成名。但是，如果能让智者满意，就已足够，他们的判断便是你真正成功的试金石。
transcendent wisdom. i mean in everything. the first and highest rule of all deed and speech, the more necessary to be followed the higher and more numerous our posts, is: an ounce of wisdom is worth more than tons of cleverness. it is the only sure way, though it may not gain so much applause. the reputation of wisdom is the last triumph of fame. it is enough if you satisfy the wise, for their judgment is the touchstone of true success.
