A person at his higest point. We are not born perfect: every day we develp in our personality and in our calling till we reach the highest point of our completed being, to the full round of our accomplishements, of our excellences. This is known by the purity of our taste, the clearness of our thought, the maturity of our judement and the firmness of our will. Some never arrive at being complete — something is always lacking. Others ripen late. The complete person — wise in speech, prudent in act — is admitted to the familiar intimacy of discreet people, is even sought out by them. 《处世之道——300则永恒的人间智慧》,Baltasar Gracian 著 |
