No one can be perfectly free till all are free; no one can be perfectly moral till all are moral; no one can be perfectly happy till all are happy.

  • -- Herbert Spencer 赫伯特·斯宾塞

没有人能完全自由,直到所有的人都自由了;没有人是完全道德的,除非所有人都是道德的;没有人能完全快乐,直到所有人都快乐。

We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.

我们已经学会说,只有把善扩展到整个社会,才能使任何一个人或任何一个阶层得到保障。但是,我们还没有学会给这句话加上一句:除非所有的人、所有的阶级都为一件好事做出贡献,否则我们甚至不能肯定它是否值得拥有。
