第 120 頁 - No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean, Are the people who lift, and the people who lean. Wherever you go, you will find the earth's masses, Are always divided in just these two classes.
第 120 頁 - There are two kinds of people on earth today — Just two kinds of people, no more, I say. Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well understood The good are half bad and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man's wealth You must first know the state of his conscience and health; Not the...

It masters time, it conquers space; It cows that boastful trickster, Chance, And bids the tyrant Circumstance Uncrown, and fill a servant's place. The human Will, that force unseen, The offspring of a deathless Soul, Can hew a way to any goal, Though walls of granite intervene.

第 120 頁 - I mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean. Wherever you go you will find the world's masses Are always divided in just these two classes; And oddly enough you will find, too, I ween — There is only one lifter to twenty who lean.
第 120 頁 - Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well understood The good are half bad, and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man's wealth, You must first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span, Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man.
