Alas, my Friends, credulous incredulity is a strange matter. But when a whole Nation is smitten with Suspicion, ... what help is there? Such Nation is already a mere hypochondriac bundle of diseases; as good as changed into glass; atrabiliar, decadent; and will suffer crises. Is not Suspicion itself the one thing to be suspected, as Montaigne feared only fear? [Carlyle, "French Revolution"]
唉，我的朋友们，轻信的怀疑是一件奇怪的事情。但当整个国家充满怀疑时，还有什么帮助呢？这样的国家已经成为了一堆疾病的偏执狂； 就像变成了玻璃一样； 忧郁的，衰落的； 并将遭受危机。难道怀疑本身不是唯一需要怀疑的事情吗？正如蒙田只害怕恐惧一样？[卡莱尔，《法国革命》]
