Morley's most astonishing announcement of recent days was in his address to the editors of the world, assembled in London. He informed them in effect that a few lines from Burns had done more to form and maintain the present improved political and social conditions of the people than all the millions of editorials ever written. This followed a remark that there were now and then a few written or spoken words which were in themselves events; they accomplished what they described. Tom Paine's "Rights of Man" was mentioned as such.

白话
莫利最近最惊人的言论,是在伦敦对全世界编辑们说的。他告诉大家:彭斯短短几行诗,对形成和维持人民如今更好的政治社会状况,作用比所有报纸社论加起来还大。他先提到,偶尔有些写出来或说出来的话本身就是事件,它们完成了自己所描述的事,比如潘恩的《人权》。这提醒我们,思想的力量不在篇幅长短,而在能否击中人心、引发行动。今天我们可以少写长篇大论,多打磨能直接推动改变的关键表达。
上下文
卡内基在自传中回忆英国政治家约翰·莫利的一次演讲,讨论文字与思想对社会变革的实际影响。
