You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.

  • -- Christopher Dawson 克里斯多夫·道森

你可以给人食物、闲暇、娱乐和良好的工作条件,但他们仍然不满足。你可以否认他们所有的这些,只要他们觉得有什么值得为之牺牲的东西,他们就不会抱怨。
