If nothing is to be done in the given situation, he must invent plausible reasons for doing nothing; and if something must be done, he must suggest the something. The unpardonable sin is to propose nothing, when action is imperative.

  • -- Charles Edward Merriam 梅里亚姆

如果在给定的情况下什么也不做,他必须为什么也不做编造合理的理由;如果必须采取措施,他必须提出建议。当行动是必须的时候,什么也不提是不可饶恕的罪。
