亚当斯密名言
1.The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations.
(志向的贫穷是真正贫穷的悲剧。)
2.Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this - no dog exchanges bones with another.
(人是讨价还价的动物:其他的动物不会这样的勾当---狗是不会用自己吃的骨头去做交换。)
3.Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.
(比恶毒更加可怕的是善行,因为善行过分,就不受良心的管制。)
4.Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.
(劳动首先成为价格,即成为用于偿付一切原始购买货币。早先,购买世界上一切的财富,并非通过金子银子,而是通过劳动。)
5.Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
(人文精神是女人的善行,慷慨大方是男人的德性。)
6.To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.
(多想别人,少想自己;节制自私,发挥仁爱,构筑完美人性。)
7.Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.
(科学是热情和迷信最大的解药。)
8. Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.
(参与所有的博彩投机,结果你必输无赢;彩票买得越多,离你肯定是输家越近。)
9.All money is a matter of belief.
(所有的金钱都是一种信念。)
