奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

Apelles hunted over Greece for many years, studying the fairest points of beautiful women, getting here an eye, there a forehead and there a nose, here a grace and there a turn of beauty, for his famous portrait of a perfect woman which enchanted the world. So the coming man will be a composite, many in one. He will absorb into himself not the weakness, not the follies, but the strength and the virtues of other types of men. He will be a man raised to the highest power. He will be a self-centered, equipoised, and ever master of himself. His sensibility will not be deadened or blunted by violation of Nature's laws. His whole character will be impressionable, and will respond to the most delicate touches of Nature.

白话

古希腊画家阿佩莱斯为了画完美的女性肖像,多年走遍希腊,从不同美女身上各取最美的部分:这里取眼睛,那里取额头、鼻子,这里取优雅,那里取姿态。马登说,未来理想的人也会是这样集大成者:吸收各种人的长处和美德,而不是弱点与愚蠢,把自己提升到最高境界。这样的人自我中心、内心平衡、始终能掌控自己;他的感受力不会因违反自然规律而迟钝,整个性格保持敏感,能回应自然最细微的触动。
