his evil reputation。 What is left him but to lead a life stale and unprofitable�察�

the scorn and mockery of   men�拭�Let us try another case。 Suppose a man 

wished to be thought a good general or a good pilot�察�though he were really 

nothing of the sort�察�let us picture to our minds how it will fare with him。 

Of    two    misfortunes      one�此   �either   with    a  strong    desire    to  be   thought 

proficient   in   these   matters�察  �he   will   fail   to   get   others   to   agree   with   him�察�

which will be bad enough�察�or he will succeed�察�with worse result�察�since it 

stands to reason that anyone appointed to work a vessel or lead an army 

without   the   requisite   knowledge   will   speedily   ruin   a   number   of   people 

whom   he   least   desires   to   hurt�察  �and   will   make   but   a   sorry   exit   from   the 

stage   himself。;   Thus   first   by   one   instance   and   then   another   would   he 

demonstrate the unprofitableness of trying to appear rich�察�or courageous�察�

or strong�察�without really being the thing pretended。 ;You are sure sooner 

or later to have commands laid upon you beyond your power to execute�察�

and failing just where you are credited with capacity�察�the world will give 

you no commiseration。; ;I call that man a cheat�察�and a great cheat too�察─�he 

would say�察 �who gets money or goods out of some one by persuasion�察�and 

defrauds him�察�but of all imposters he surely is the biggest who can delude 

people into thinking that he is fit to lead the state�察�when all the while he is 

a worthless creature。;��4�А�

regard to sleep as shall enable him to rest late and rise early�察�or keep vigil�察�
