That is, to have in words what you believe and are acting from.” – William Faulkner, Novelist 「我發現讓人有風度、有尊嚴及有勇氣面對任何問題，最大的助力來自於知道自己的立足點為何；也就是說，寫下你相信的事及你行為的出發點。」– 威廉‧福克納 (小說家) •decency (n.) 合宜得體，展現對他人的尊重。例：If they’re going to charge a fee, they should at least have the decency to notify us in advance.
