How would I have you spurred?

I look into your hearts, O men! and this is what I see—

Ideals and hypocrisy, self-interest and altruism, hunger and satiety.

Shall I, in offering advice, appeal to your ideals, your self-interest—or your hunger? 

The opposite three would never spur you to action along the lines I would have you spurred.

—The Judge [Last Letters from a Living Dead Man]
