章节摘录

　　In spite of the "Hurry！ Hurry！" on the outside of your envelope， I did notlike to act until I had consulted Mother and thought the matter over； and tobe frank with you， old fellow， I am by no means sure that I am doing rightnow. If it were not that I feel you will be so bitterly disappointed， I wouldstrongly advocate your acquiescing in the decision to leave you off thesecond squad this year. I am proud of your pluck， and I greatly admirefootball - though it was not a game I was ever able to play myself， myqualities resembling Kermit's rather than yours. But the very things thatmake it a good game make it a rough game， and there is always the chanceof your being laid up. Now， I should not in the least object to your beinglaid up for a season if you were striving for something worth while， to geton the Groton school team， for instance， or on your class team when youentered Harvard - for of course I don't think you will have the weight toentitle you to try for the 'varsity. But I am by no means sure that it is worthyour while to run the risk of being laid up for the sake of playing in thesecond squad when you are a fourth former， instead of when you are a fifthformer. I do not know that the risk is balanced by the reward. However， Ihave told the Rector that as you feel so strongly about it， I think that thechance of your damaging yourself in body is outweighed by the possibilityof bitterness of spirit if you could not play. Understand me， I should thinkmighty little of you if you permitted chagrin to make you bitter on somepoint where it was evidently right for you to suffer the chagrin. But in thiscase I am uncertain， and I shall give you the benefit of the doubt. If，however， the coaches at any time come to the conclusion that you oughtnot to be in the second squad， why you must come off without grumbling. 　　......

•   原来这个罗斯福不是那个罗斯福啊，汗
•   能当总统总有其过人之处，希望能从里边学到些什么
•   本来是准备练习英文而用，翻开书，原来天下父母心，都是一样的。做人的道理、处事的道理，不论是西方还是东方，都希望培养善良的公民。
•   太喜欢了，英文比较浅显，字看上去也舒服，纸张也不错，32k本，薄薄的，闲暇时读一读不错
•   还没有腾出时间来看，不过应该是一本不错的书。
•   不需要第三者去美化，直接读伟人的家信，感受他有血有肉的人性。
•   很薄的一小本，少少失望
