Love the art, poor as it may be, which thou hast learned, and be content with it; and pass through the rest of life like one who has intrusted to the gods with his whole soul all that he has, making thyself neither the tyrant nor the slave of any man.

• 热爱你曾学过的技艺吧，并对之表示满意，尽管可能很贫乏；向那些把自己所有的整个灵魂托付与诸神的人一样度过你的余生，即不做暴君，也不做他人的奴隶。
