Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.

  • -- John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton 阿克顿

财产不是神圣的权利。富人变穷是一种不幸，而不是道德上的罪恶。当一个穷人变得贫困，这是一种道德上的罪恶，充满了后果，有害于社会和道德。
