So much of our lives is given over to the consideration of our imperfections that there is no time to improve our imaginary virtues. The truth is we only perfect our vices, and man is a worse creature when he dies than he was when he was born.

  • -- Edward Dahlberg 爱德华·达尔伯格

我们生活中太多的时间都花在考虑自己的缺点上，以至于没有时间去改善我们想象中的优点。事实上，我们只是在完善我们的罪恶，人死后比出生时更坏。
