我不会介入它。它使一个人成为胆小鬼：一个男人不能偷东西，但它指责他。一个男人不能发誓，但它检查了他。一个男人不能和邻居的妻子撒谎，但发现他。 ``这是一种脸红，羞耻的精神，它在一个男人的怀抱中叛变。它充满了一个充满障碍的人。这使我曾经恢复了我发现的金钱包。它乞求任何保留它的男人。事实证明这是一件危险的事情，每个人都意味着要努力信任自己并在没有它的情况下生活。
(I'll not meddle with it. It makes a man a coward: a man cannot steal but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear but it checks him; a man cannot lie with his neighbor's wife but it detects him. 'Tis a blushing, shamefaced spirit that mutinies in a man's bosom. It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found. It beggars any man that keeps it. It is turned out of towns and cities for a dangerous thing, and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.)
