清晨伊始，就对自己说：我将遇见爱管闲事的人、忘恩负义的人、傲慢的人、欺诈的人、嫉妒的人、孤僻的人。这一切之所以发生在他们身上，是因为他们不认识何为善、何为恶。而我，既然已经看清善的本性——它是美的，也看清恶的本性——它是丑的，还看清了犯错之人的本性——他与我同源，不是同血同种意义上的同源，而是共享理智、共享神性之一分意义上的同源——那么，我就既不可能被他们中任何人所伤害（因为没有人能强加给我丑恶之物），也不可能对我的同胞发怒、憎恨他。因为我们生来就是为了合作，如同脚、如同手、如同眼睑、如同上下两排牙齿。彼此对立行事，就违背本性；而恼怒和转身离去，就是彼此对立行事。
Long · 1862Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busybody,
the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these
things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and
evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful,
and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong,
that it is akin to me, not [only] of the same blood or seed, but that
it participates in [the same] intelligence and [the same] portion of
the divinity, I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can
fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate
him. For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like
eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one
another, then, is contrary to nature; and it is acting against one
another to be vexed and to turn away.
Chrystal · 1902Say this to yourself in the morning: Today I shall have to do with
meddlers, with the ungrateful, with the insolent, with the crafty,
with the envious and the selfish. All these vices have beset them,
because they know not what is good and what is evil. But I have
considered the nature of the good, and found it beautiful: I have
beheld the nature of the bad, and found it ugly. I also understand the
nature of the evil-doer, and know that he is my brother, not because
he shares with me the same blood or the same seed, but because he is a
partaker of the same mind and of the same portion of immortality. I
therefore cannot be hurt by any of these, since none of them can
involve me in any baseness. I cannot be angry with my brother, or
sever myself from him, for we are made by nature for mutual
assistance, like the feet, the hands, the eyelids, the upper and lower
rows of teeth. It is against nature for men to oppose each other; and
what else is anger and aversion?
