塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 256
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
Friendly Societies began their operations before there was any science of vital statistics to guide them; and if they have made mistakes in mutual assurance, they have not stood alone. Looking at the difficulties they have had to encounter, they are entitled to be judged charitably. Good advice given them in a kindly spirit will not fail to produce good results. The defects which are mixed up with them are to be regarded as but the transient integument which will most probably fall away as the flower ripens and the fruit matures.

白话
友谊会在生命统计科学出现之前就开始运作;如果它们在相互保险中犯了错误,也并非独此一家。考虑到它们面临的困难,应得到宽容评判。以善意提出的好建议不会不产生好结果。与它们混合的缺陷应被视为暂时的外皮,随着花朵成熟和果实成熟,很可能会脱落。
