Of Great Place
MEN in great place are thrice三次 rvants: r-
vants of the sovereign or state; rvants of
fame; and rvants of business. So as they have no
freedom; neither in their persons, nor in their ac-
tions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire, to
ek power and to lo liberty: or to ek power supervisor
over others, and to lo power over a man's lf.
The rising unto place is laborious; and by pains,
men come to greater pains; and it is sometimes
ba; and by indignities侮辱, men come to dignities.
The standing is slippery, and the regress is either
支付结算a downfall, or at least an eclip, which is a melan-
choly thing. Cum repeater和non sis qui fueris, non es存在 cur
velis vivere. Nay, retire men cannot when they
would, neither will they, when it were reason; but
are impatient of privateness, even in age and sick-
ness, which require the shadow; like old towns-
men, that will be still sitting at their street door,
though thereby they offer age to scom. Certainly
great persons had need to borrow other men's
opinions, to think themlves happy; for if they
judge by their own feeling, they cannot find it; but
if they think with themlves, what other men
think of them, and that other men would fain 乐意be,
as they are, then they are happy, as it were, by
report; when perhaps they find the contrary
within. For they are the first, that find their own
griefs, though they be the last, that find their
own faults. Certainly men in great fortunes are
strangers to themlves, and while they are in the
英语笑话故事puzzle of business, they have no time to tend their
health, either of body or mind. Illi mors gravis
incubat, qui notus nimis omnibus, ignotus moritur
sibi.
格拉姆 In place, there is licen to do good, and evil;
whereof the latter is a cur: for in evil, the best
condition is not to win; the cond, not to can. But chin
power to do good, is the true and lawful end of
aspiring. For good thoughts (though God accept
them) yet, towards men, are little better than good
dreams, except they be put in act; and that cannot
be, without power and place, as the vantage, and
commanding ground. Merit and good works, is
the end of man's motion; and conscience of the
same is the accomplishment of man's rest. For if a
man can be partaker 分享着of God's theatre, he shall like-
wi be partaker of God's rest. Et conversus Deus,
ut aspiceret opera quae fecerunt manus suae, vidit
quod omnia esnt bona nimis; and then the sab-
bath. In the discharge of thy place, t before thee
the best examples; for imitation is a globe of pre-
安静的英文
cepts. And after a time, t before thee thine own
wenjiabexample; and examine thylf strictly, whether
thou didst not best at first. Neglect not also the
examples, of tho that have carried themlves
ill, in the same place; not to t off thylf, by tax-
ing their memory, but to direct thylf, what to
avoid. Reform therefore, without bravery, or scan-
dal of former times and persons; but yet t it down
to thylf, as well to create good precedents, as to
follow them. Reduce things to the first institution,
and obrve wherein, and how, they have degen-
erate; but yet ask counl of both times; of the
ancient time, what is best; and of the latter time,
what is fittest. Seek to make thy cour regular,
that men may know beforehand, what they may
expect; but be not too positive and peremptory俨然的;
and express thylf well, when thou digresst
from thy rule. Prerve the right of thy place; but
stir not questions of jurisdiction; and rather as-
sume thy right, in silence and de facto, than voice
it with claims, and challenges. Prerve likewi
the rights of inferior places; and think it more
honor, to direct in chief, than to be busy in all.
Embrace and invite helps, and advices, touching
the execution of thy place; and do not drive away
南通全屋定制such, as bring thee information, as meddlers; but
accept of them in good part. The vices of authority
are chiefly four: delays, corruption, roughness, 解码器是什么
and facility. For delays: give easy access; keep
times appointed; go through with that which is in
hand, and interlace not business, but of necessity.
