I have named the destroyers of nations: comfort, plenty, and security - out of which grow a bored and slothful cynicism, in which rebellion against the world as it is, and myself as I am, are submerged in listless self-satisfaction.

我把毁灭国家的人命名为:安逸、富足和安全——从这些东西中滋生出一种无聊而懒散的玩世不恭，在这种玩世不恭中，对现实世界的反叛，以及对自我的反叛，都淹没在无精打采的自我满足之中。
