If I steal money from any person, there may be no harm done from the mere transfer of possession; he may not feel the loss, or it may prevent him from using the money badly. But I cannot help doing this great wrong towards Man, that I make myself dishonest.

  • -- William Kingdon Clifford 威廉·金顿·克利福德

如果我从任何人那里偷钱,仅仅转移财产可能不会造成任何伤害;他可能感觉不到损失,或者这可能阻止他不当使用这笔钱。但我无法不这样对待人类,我使自己不诚实。
