I really do not see much use in exalting the humble and meek; they do not remain humble and meek long when they are exalted.

I really do not see much use in exalting the humble and meek; they do not remain humble and meek long when they are exalted.

我实在看不出颂扬谦卑和温顺有多大用处;他们被高举的时候，并不长久谦虚温顺。

-- Samuel Butler 塞缪尔巴特勒
