Frankness(作文地带友情提示：中文翻译见下方)

Frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted you mean to do right. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot; you would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one; the man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly, but firmly, with all your classmates; you will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.From Joozoen.com.

If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain; there is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man’s face and another behind his back. We should live, act, and say nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but it a path of peace and honor.

论率直

率直是诚实及勇敢的产物。无论在什么场合，你的言行都要合一。如果一位朋友请你帮忙，只要合理，你就应该答应；如果不合理，你就坦率地告诉他你为什么不能帮忙。含含糊糊的语词既害了对方，又苦了自己。

千万不可为了交朋友或留住一个朋友而做错事。否则，仅仅为了此人，你就得付出昂贵的牺牲和代价。和你的同学要友好牢固地相处，你会看到这是最耐久的交友原则。在别人面前尤其不要有虚假的表现。

如果你对某人不满，你就把你的不满告诉他，但不要对别人说。这样做万无一失，千万不要当人的面说一套，在他的背后又做一套。我们的所说所为不应伤害别人。这不仅仅是一个原则性问题，而且也是一条求得和睦与体面的捷径。
