普鲁塔克：希腊罗马名人传·摘录 51
普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 心性 · 成长 · 行动
In his early manhood, which fell at a time when Rome was flourishing with illustrious characters, he was distinguished for not attaching himself to the studies usual with the young men of mark of that age, nor treading the same paths to fame. For he did not practice oratory with a view to pleading causes, nor would he stoop to salute, embrace, and entertain the vulgar, which were the usual insinuating arts by which many grew popular. Not that he was incapable of either, but he chose to purchase a much more lasting glory by his valor, justice, and integrity, and in these virtues he soon outstripped all his equals.

白话
他早年正值罗马人才辈出的时代，却没有像当时许多有名望的年轻人那样，去学那些通常的学问，也不走同样的求名之路。他不练习演说去帮人打官司，也不肯屈尊去跟平民打招呼、拥抱、宴请——这些是许多人用来笼络人心、博取声望的惯用手段。不是他做不到，而是他选择用勇敢、公正和正直来换取更持久的荣耀，很快就在这些美德上超越了同辈。
