一日之始就对自己说:我将遇见好管闲事的人、忘恩负义的人、傲慢的人、欺诈的人、嫉妒的人和孤僻的人。他们染有这些品性是因为他们不知道什么是善,什么是恶。但是,我,-作为知道善和恶的性质,知道前者是美后者是丑的人;作为知道做了错事的人们的本性是与我相似,我们不仅具有同样的血液和皮肤,而且分享同样的理智和同样的一分神性的人-决不可能被他们中的任何一个人损害,因为任何人都不可能把恶强加于我,我也不可能迁怒于这些与我同类的人,或者憎恨他们。因为,我们是天生要合作的,犹如手足,唇齿和眼睑。那么,相互反对就是违反本性了,就是自寻烦恼和自我排斥。
Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busy-body, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong, that it is akin to me, not only of the same blood or seed, but that it participates in the same intelligence and the same portion of the divinity, I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate him, For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one another then is contrary to nature; and it is acting against one another to be vexed and to turn away.
