塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 38

塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 行动 · 心性 · 财富

A brave man must expect to be tossed; for he is to steer his course in the teeth of Fortune, and to work against wind and weather. In the suffering of torments, though there appears but one virtue, a man exercises many. That which is most eminent is patience, (which is but a branch of fortitude.) But there is prudence also in the choice of the action, and in the bearing what we cannot avoid; and there is constancy in bearing it resolutely: and there is the same concurrence also of several virtues in other generous undertakings.

白话

勇敢的人必须预料到会被颠簸,因为他要在命运的风口浪尖上掌舵,逆风逆水而行。在忍受折磨时,虽然看似只有一种美德,其实人运用了多种美德。最突出的是耐心(它只是坚韧的一个分支)。但在选择行动和承受无法避免之事时,也有审慎;在坚决承受时,有恒心;在其他慷慨的事业中,也有几种美德的共同作用。所以,不要以为忍耐只是被动挨打,它背后是整套品格的协作。

上下文

塞内加是古罗马斯多葛派哲学家,这段话出自他的道德随笔,讨论勇敢与忍耐的关系。
