Adam Bede

CHAPTER XVI
12/29

I've seen pretty clear, ever since I could cast up a sum, as you can never do what's wrong without breeding sin and trouble more than you can ever see.

It's like a bit o' bad workmanship--you never see th' end o' the mischief it'll do.

And it's a poor look-out to come into the world to make your fellow-creatures worse off instead o' better.

But there's a difference between the things folks call wrong.

I'm not for making a sin of every little fool's trick, or bit o' nonsense anybody may be let into, like some o' them dissenters.
