第20章那是一棵生命的常青树(6)

毋庸置疑,你依赖于律师和股票?纪人的关照,列车员和信号员使你快速从一处转移到另一处,警察在街道上巡逻以保护你的安全;但是,对于那些你路上偶遇,使你开怀一笑的人,难道你一点儿也不心存感激吗?纽科姆上校的帮忙,却使他的朋友破了财;弗雷德·贝哈姆向人借衬衣,却是一个诡计。
但是比起巴恩斯先生,他们两位倒是更值得结交。
虽然福斯塔夫既不庄重又不很诚实,但是我想我能说出一两个沮丧的巴à巴。
我想,如果没有他们,这个世界会更好。
哈兹里特曾提及,与那些懂得卖弄的朋友相比,他对诺思科特的责任感更强,尽管诺思科特对他并未有任何所谓的恩惠之举,因为他坚持认为,一个好的同伴就是最大的施恩者。
我知道世界上有一些人,除非以痛苦和苦难为代价赐予他们恩惠,否则他们便不会有感恩之心。
这真是一种无礼的性情。
一个人可能会给你写一封六页的信,同你漫无边际地闲谈,或者你开心地用半个小时读他的一篇文章,或许还有所收获。
如果这篇手稿是他用心血写成的,就像魔鬼的契约一样,你是否会觉得更有恩于你?如果你的来信者诅咒你的刁难,你真的觉得你就会对他更加感激吗?乐趣比责任更能让人受益,因为就像仁慈的品质一样,由于没有任何矫饰,能给人加倍的福佑。
忙中偷闲的能力,暗示的是一种广泛的爱好和强烈的个性。
乐趣比责任更能让人受益,它就像仁慈的品质一样,没有任何矫饰,却能给人加倍的福佑。
无论你的生活如何卑微
