For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars,

one by one; but the general counsels,

and the plots and marshaling of affairs,

come best from those that are learned;

To spend too much time in studies, is sloth;

to use them too much for ornament, is affectation;

to make judgement only by their rules,

is the humour of a scholar.

行家里手雖能事無巨細--予以處理或判明是非，

但運籌全局、合理謀劃則少不了茂士英才。

讀書費時過多，無異于懶惰；裝飾之用過濫，顯得矯揉造作；

辦事只知照本宣科，實為書呆子氣。
