Vice has more martyrs than virtue; and it often happens that men suffer more to be lost than to be saved.

  • -- Charles Caleb Colton 英国作家科尔顿

罪恶比美德有更多的殉道者;而且经常发生的是,失去的人比得救的人更痛苦。

Because impudence is a vice, it does not follow that modesty is a virtue; it is built upon shame, a passion in our nature, and may be either good or bad according to the actions performed from that motive.

因为厚颜无耻是一种恶习,所以并不意味着谦虚是一种美德;它建立在羞耻的基础上,是我们天性中的一种激情,根据动机所产生的行为,它可以是好是坏。

The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice.

这种差别太好了——美德在哪里结束,罪恶在哪里开始。
