They are the choicest gifts of Heaven's prodigality-a fertile genius,a profound intellect,a pleasant and refined taste.To think well is good,to think right is better-it is the understanding of the good.It will not do for the judgement to reside in the backbone;it would be of more trouble than use.To think right is the fruit of reasonable nature.At twenty the will rules,at thirty the intellect,at forty the judgement.There are minds that shine in the dark like the eyes of a lynx,and are most clear where there is most darkness.Others are more adapted for the occasion-they always hit on that which suits the emergency;such a quality produces much and good,a sort of fertile felicity.In the meantime,good taste seasons the whole of life.
210.三样东西造就天才
它们是上天慷慨馈赠的最完美的天赋——丰富多产的创造力，深邃渊博的智力，以及令人愉快而优雅的品位。思考周全固然好，思考正确则更好——这是对善的理解。它不会取代判断力而居于中枢的位置，它更多的属于烦恼，而非效用。思考正确是合理天性之果。20岁时意志为王，30岁时智力做主，40岁时判断力当家。有些人的心智就像山猫的眼睛在暗处闪亮，最黑暗的地方看得最清楚。有些人更适合临场发挥——他们总是灵机一动，突然发现适合于突发事件的应急措施；这种品质能结出更多更好的硕果，是一种多产的福气。与此同时，良好的品位则适合于人的整个一生。
