When the orators, who sided with Thucydides and his party, were at one time crying out, as their custom was, against Pericles, as one who squandered away the public money, and made havoc of the state revenues, he rose in the open assembly and put the question to the people, whether they thought that he had laid out much; and they saying, "Too much, a great deal." "Then," said he, "since it is so, let the cost not go to your account, but to mine; and let the inscription upon the buildings stand in my name." When they heard him say thus, whether it were out of a surprise to see the greatness of his spirit, or out of emulation of the glory of the works, they cried aloud, bidding him to spend on, and lay out what he thought fit from the public purse, and to spare no cost, till all were finished.

白话
修昔底德一派的人常指责伯里克利浪费公款、挥霍国库。一次公民大会上，伯里克利站起来问大家：你们觉得我花得很多吗？众人说：“太多了。”他说：“那好，这笔钱不要记在你们账上，记在我自己账上，建筑上的铭文也刻我的名字。”众人一听，既惊讶于他的气魄，又羡慕那些建筑的荣耀，于是大喊让他尽管花钱，从公库中支取，直到全部完工。这说明，当有人愿意个人承担公共成本时，往往能激发集体的荣誉感，但也要小心个人英雄主义掩盖了公共监督。

伯里克利执政时大兴土木（如帕特农神庙），反对派指责他滥用盟邦贡金，这是他在公民大会上的著名回应。

如果你负责一个公共项目，面对“花钱太多”的质疑，你会如何既展示担当又保持透明？
