The American moralists do not profess that men ought to sacrifice themselves for their fellow-creatures because it is noble to make such sacrifices; but they boldly aver that such sacrifices are as necessary to him who imposes them upon himself as to him for whose sake they are made.
Moralista amerikarrek ez dute esaten hurkoengatik sakrifikatu behar denik gauza bikaina delako hori egitea; baina argi eta garbi esaten dute horrelako sakrifizioak, bere buruari ezartzen dizkionarentzat bezain beharrezkoak direla horietaz profitatzen direnentzat.
