塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：自助论·摘录 128
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
Like Sir Joshua Reynolds, Michael Angelo was a great believer in the force of labour; and he held that there was nothing which the imagination conceived, that could not be embodied in marble, if the hand were made vigorously to obey the mind. He was himself one of the most indefatigable of workers; and he attributed his power of studying for a greater number of hours than most of his contemporaries, to his spare habits of living. A little bread and wine was all he required for the chief part of the day when employed at his work; and very frequently he rose in the middle of the night to resume his labours. On these occasions, it was his practice to fix the candle, by the light of which he chiselled, on the summit of a paste-board cap which he wore. Sometimes he was too wearied to undress, and he slept in his clothes, ready to spring to his work so soon as refreshed by sleep. He had a favourite device of an old man in a go-cart, with an hour-glass upon it bearing the inscription, _Ancora imparo_! Still I am learning.

白话
米开朗基罗也坚信劳动的力量，他认为只要手能有力地服从头脑，想象中就没有什么不能体现在大理石中。他本人是最不知疲倦的工作者之一，他把能比同时代人学习更长时间归功于简朴的生活习惯。工作时，他一天大部分时间只需要一点面包和酒；常常半夜起来继续工作。他习惯把蜡烛固定在纸板帽顶上，借着烛光雕刻。有时累得来不及脱衣服，就穿着衣服睡，以便睡醒后立刻投入工作。他有一个喜爱的图案：一个坐在学步车里的老人，上面有一个沙漏，写着“我还在学习”。
