The illiberality of parents, in allowance towards their children, is an harmful error; makes them base; acquaints them with shifts; makes them sort with mean company; and makes them surfeit more when they come to plenty. 在子女小時(shí)不應(yīng)對(duì)他們過(guò)于苛吝。否則會(huì)使他們變得卑賤，甚至投機(jī)取巧，以至墮入下流，即使后來(lái)有了財(cái)富時(shí)也不會(huì)正當(dāng)利用。
