Summary

This quote suggests that as the number of individuals involved in a situation increases, the quality of moral behavior tends to decrease. It implies that ethical actions are easier to uphold on an individual level than in larger groups or societies. With more people involved, there may be a dilution of responsibility or a diffusion of moral accountability, leading to a decline in the overall moral behavior observed. This quote highlights the challenges faced when trying to maintain high moral standards within collective settings.
