The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.

  • -- Niccolò Machiavelli 尼科尔·马基雅维利

诚然,想要获得更多是非常自然和常见的事情;当人们成功做到这一点时,他们总是受到赞扬而不是谴责。但当他们缺乏这样做的能力,却又想不惜一切代价获得更多时,他们的错误就应该受到谴责。
