学识和善心结合起来可确保成就不断。高超的智慧与邪恶的意愿相结合,会生出变态的魔怪。邪恶的意愿将破坏所有的优点;如果再有学识助力,将使事情更加败坏。这是一种可悲的过人之处,它的最终结果就是毁灭。有学识而无明智的判断,则倍加愚蠢。
knowledge and good intentions together ensure continuance of success. a fine intellect wedded to a wicked will was always an unnatural monster. a wicked will envenoms all excellences: helped by knowledge it only ruins with greater subtlety. it is a miserable superiority that only results in ruin. knowledge without sense is double folly.
