You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.

  • -- Samuel Johnson 塞缪尔·约翰逊

你们若不善待穷人,就不能奢侈度日。不,你把钱花在奢侈品上,比给他们更多的好处;因为你将银子花在奢侈品上,就叫他们劳苦,将银子给人,就叫他们闲了。
