塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
The success of even professional men depends in no slight degree on their physical health; and a public writer has gone so far as to say that “the greatness of our great men is quite as much a bodily affair as a mental one.” {319} A healthy breathing apparatus is as indispensable to the successful lawyer or politician as a well-cultured intellect. The thorough aëration of the blood by free exposure to a large breathing surface in the lungs, is necessary to maintain that full vital power on which the vigorous working of the brain in so large a measure depends. The lawyer has to climb the heights of his profession through close and heated courts, and the political leader has to bear the fatigue and excitement of long and anxious debates in a crowded House. Hence the lawyer in full practice and the parliamentary leader in full work are called upon to display powers of physical endurance and activity even more extraordinary than those of the intellect,—such powers as have been exhibited in so remarkable a degree by Brougham, Lyndhurst, and Campbell; by Peel, Graham, and Palmerston—all full-chested men.

白话
就连专业人士的成功,也很大程度上取决于身体健康。有位评论家甚至说:“我们伟人的伟大,一半是身体的事,一半是脑子的事。”对成功的律师或政治家来说,健康的呼吸器官和修养良好的智力一样不可少。血液要在大面积肺表面充分接触氧气,才能维持充沛的生命力,而大脑的有力运转很大程度上靠这个。律师得穿过闷热拥挤的法庭往上爬,政治领袖得在挤满人的议会里承受漫长激烈辩论的疲劳和兴奋。所以业务繁忙的律师和议会领袖,需要表现出的体力和耐力甚至比智力更惊人——布鲁厄姆、林德赫斯特、坎贝尔、皮尔、格雷厄姆、帕默斯顿都是胸膛宽阔的人。
