亚里士多德对亚历山大的忠告Aristotle’s Advice to Alexander

We read that Alexander, the great, was the follower of Aristotle, from whose instructions he got the greatest advantage. What was the most, he asked his master what would profit himself, and at the same time be serviceable to others.

Aristotle answered, “My son, hear with attention; and if you accept my advice, you duanwenw.com will arrive at the greatest honors. There are seven distinct points to be remembered. First , you do not overcharge the balance. Secondly, you do not feed a fire with the sword, Thirdly, stress not the crown; nor, fourthly, eat the heart of a little bird.

亚里士多德回答说:“请注意听,我的孩子。你若接纳我的忠告,你一定能功盖星辰。有七点你要切记:一忌打破平衡;二忌用剑拔火;三忌太重皇权;四忌贪吃小鸟心脏;五忌走对路又回头观望;六忌走出通衢大道;七忌让多舌的燕子占你屋檐。”
