Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation.

  • -- William Lloyd Garrison 加里森

告诉一个房子着火的人,适度地发出警报;告诉他适度地把他的妻子从掠夺者手中救出来;告诉母亲要慢慢地把她的孩子从它掉进去的火里救出来;但请敦促我不要使用节制。
