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.

  • -- Bernard de Mandeville 曼德维尔

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。
