A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
副
Vice
Vice has more martyrs than virtue; and it often happens that men suffer more to be lost than to be saved.
罪恶比美德有更多的殉道者;而且经常发生的是，失去的人比得救的人更痛苦。
Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime.

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.
