傲骨不可无,傲心不可有;无傲骨则近于鄙夫,有傲心不得为君子。
天外曰:道学之言,才人之笔。
A man must have pride in his character [literally “in his bones”,
but not in his heart. Not to have pride in character is to be with
the common herd, and to have pride in one’s heart does not belong
to a gentleman.
Tienwai: Here is a moral truth expressed beautifully by a gifted
writer.
