双语智慧书·言行应有威信

122．言行应有威信
　　言行应有威信。如果做到这点则可在许多地方获得一定的地位，且能提前赢得人们的敬重。言谈、神色，甚至步伐，处处都显示出威信的力量。征服人心是伟大的胜利。它并非来自任何愚蠢的自以为是或者夸夸其谈，而是来自恰当的威严--只有才智过人、品德高尚之人才拥有这种气质。


122．Distinction in speech and action
　Distinction in speech and action. By this you gain a position in many places and carry esteem beforehand. It shows itself in everything, in talk, in look, even in gait. It is a great victory to conquer men's hearts. It does not arise from any foolish presumption or pompous talk, but in a becoming tone of authority born of superior talent combined with true merit.
