Quote by Oscar Wilde

← Back to Quote

English (Source)

We like to think well of others because we are afraid of ourselves. Optimism is only based on fear. We think we are generous because we endow our neighbors with virtues from which we want to benefit. We praise the banker, believing that he will pay more for our voucher, and we find good qualities in the highwayman, hoping that he will not empty our pockets.

Hungarian

Azért szeretünk jót gondolni másokról, mert féltjük magunkat. Az optimizmus alapja csak a félelem. Azt gondoljuk, nagylelkűek vagyunk, mert felebarátainkat olyan erényekkel ruházzuk fel, melyekből hasznot akarunk húzni. Dicsérjük a bankárt, abban a hiszemben, hogy utalványunkra többet fizet, és jó tulajdonságokat találunk az útonállóban, abban a reményben, hogy nem dézsmálja meg zsebünket.
