Laws and customs may be creative of vice; and should be therefore perpetually under process of observation and correction: but laws and customs cannot be creative of virtue: they may encourage and help to preserve it; but they cannot originate it.
法律和习俗可能产生恶习;因此，法律和习俗应该永远处于观察和纠正的过程中，但法律和习俗不能创造美德，它们可以鼓励和帮助保存美德;但是他们不能创造它。
