考證了一下, 這句是出自銀河百科全書 (Encyclopedia Galactica) 的記載:

Traders

... and constantly in advance of the political hegemony of the Foundation
were the Traders, reaching out tenuous fingerholds through the tremendous
distances of the Periphery. Months or years might pass between landings on
Terminus; their ships were often nothing more than patchquilts of home-made
repairs and improvisations; their honesty was none of the highest; their
daring ...

Through it all they forged an empire more enduring than the pseudo-religious
despotism of the Four Kingdoms. ...

Tales without end are told of these massive, lonely figures who bore
half-seriously, half-mockingly a motto adopted from one of Salvor Hardin's
epigrams, "Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is
right!" It is difficult now to tell which tales are real and which apocryphal.
There are none probably that have not suffered some exaggeration. ...
[F1]-IV-173

太長了, 等過兩個月再來試譯...
