  導語: 歐內斯特·海明威(Ernest Hemingway l899~1961)美國小說家。一向以文壇硬漢著稱,是美利堅民族的精神豐碑,現在就來感受他不一樣的真實的高貴吧。

Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss. In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.


    I have always believe that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are. To regret one‘s errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
