7. Всякая невоздержанность есть зачаток самоубийства; это невидимый поток под домом, который рано или поздно подмоет его фундамент.
7. All intemperance is the germ of suicide; it is an unseen stream under a house, which sooner or later will wash away its foundation.

Blackie’s own wordsWhat is called " seediness," after a debauch, is a plain proof that nature has been outraged, and will have her penalty.
All debauch is incipient suicide; it is the unseen current beneath the house which sooner or later washes away the foundations.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. On Self-Culture: Intellectual, Physical, and Moral (1874), 'On Moral Culture', The third essay, § IX, on moderation; sixth edition (Edinburgh: Edmonston and Douglas, 1875), p. 74.
Close: 'all debauch' becomes 'every intemperance' (всякая невоздержанность), 'incipient suicide' becomes 'the germ of suicide', and 'washes away the foundations' becomes 'will undermine its foundation'. Word for word as in Thoughts of Wise Men (1903, 13 April), whose commentary (Jubilee vol. 40) says that Blackie's saying there was taken from the «Иллюстрированный настольный календарь т-ва «Просвещение» на 1902 год», a Russian desk calendar, not found; the word 'intemperance' may be the calendar translator's. Blackie's sentence is printed here (the scan's space before the semicolon, a printer's space, is left out).
