培养美德就意味着抛弃罪恶 Breeding virtue means deserting evil
美德的道路窄而险，罪恶的道路宽而平，可是两条路止境不同；走后一条路是送死，走前一条路是得生，而且得到的是永生。
——〔西班牙〕塞万提斯
The road leading to virtue is narrow and dangerous，while the road leading to evil is wide and smooth，but the end of two roads are different；the latter leads to death，while the former leads to life and eternity。
（Spain）Cervantes
凡是使生命扩大而又使灵肉健强的一切，便是善良；凡是使生命减缩而又加以危害和压榨的一切，便是坏的。

邪恶穿行于充满欲望的路径，引诱许多人跟着它走；美德追求一条险峻陡峭的路径，对人类较少诱惑力。如果别的地方有很多人招呼人们走一条微微倾斜的道路时，美德对他们就更没有吸引力了。
——〔德〕贝多芬
Evil walks along the path full of desire，inducing a lot of people to follow it；virtue pursues a steep path which has less temptation。If many people in other places invite you to aslope，virtue will be less attractive to you。
