安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I had never before so thoroughly enjoyed a conference with a man. I visited him again at Hawarden, but my last visit to him was at Lord Randall's at Cannes the winter of 1897 when he was suffering keenly. He had still the old charm and was especially attentive to my sister-in-law, Lucy, who saw him then for the first time and was deeply impressed. As we drove off, she murmured, "A sick eagle! A sick eagle!" Nothing could better describe this wan and worn leader of men as he appeared to me that day. He was not only a great, but a truly good man, stirred by the purest impulses, a high, imperious soul always looking upward. He had, indeed, earned the title: "Foremost Citizen of the World."

白话
卡内基回忆与格莱斯顿的交往,最难忘的是1897年冬天在戛纳最后一次见他,当时格莱斯顿病重。他依然有魅力,对卡内基的弟媳露西特别关照。离开时露西低声说“一只病鹰”,卡内基认为这形容这位憔悴的领袖再贴切不过。他评价格莱斯顿不仅伟大,而且真正善良,动机纯粹,灵魂高尚,配得上“世界第一公民”的称号。核心是:伟大在于品格和纯粹。
