I have always applauded the opinion of a certain dead and gone, but cocksure, moralist who replied to the excuse that "one may always gamble moderately", by saying that to do so makes things worse, since, in that case, the profits too will always be moderate.
niri beti inozokeria iruditu zait okituta eta bizimodua segurtatuta zeukan moralista haren gogoeta, "diru gutxi jokatzen da" aitzakiaren aurrean zera erantzun baitzuen: "hainbat okerrago, hala etekina eskasa da eta".
