That good disposition which boasts of being most tender is often stifled by the least urging of self-interest.

If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief.
如果一个人郁郁寡欢，就由他自己去好了。没有人有权利在社会上大声疾呼，更糟糕的是，他看起来像是在压抑悲伤。
