There are men whom a happy disposition, a strong desire of glory and esteem, inspire with the same love for justice and virtue which men in general have for riches and honors... But the number of these men is so small that I only mention them in honor of humanity.
有些人有一种快乐的性情,一种强烈的荣誉感和自尊感,他们对正义和美德的热爱与一般人对财富和荣誉的热爱是一样的……但这些人的数目是如此之少,我提到他们只是为了向人类表示敬意。
