您认为，如果没有狮子，九头蛇，雄鹿或野猪，也没有野蛮的罪犯来摆脱世界？在没有此类挑战的情况下，他会做什么？显然，他会刚躺在床上，然后回去睡觉。因此，通过在奢侈和安慰中打sning鼻，他永远不会发展成为强大的大力神。即使他有，它也会对他有什么好处？如果没有危机或条件激发他的行动，那是什么武器，那种体格和那个崇高的灵魂的使用？
(What would have become of Hercules do you think if there had been no lion, hydra, stag or boar - and no savage criminals to rid the world of? What would he have done in the absence of such challenges? Obviously he would have just rolled over in bed and gone back to sleep. So by snoring his life away in luxury and comfort he never would have developed into the mighty Hercules. And even if he had, what good would it have done him? What would have been the use of those arms, that physique, and that noble soul, without crises or conditions to stir into him action?)
