Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.
Be scrupulously truthful, even when truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
Never try to discourage thinking, for you are sure to succeed.
Do not think it worthwhile to produce belief by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
勿羡慕那些生活在愚昧“天堂”的人们，因为只有愚人才认为那里是幸福的。
即便真理没有带来便利，也要恪守它，因为你若企图掩盖真理，会带来更多的麻烦。
从理智的异议中寻找乐趣，因为只有尊重理智，才能比消极的服从带来更深刻的一致。
切勿为自己独特的想法而恐惧，因为我们现在所接受的常识都曾是独特的。
切勿用权力去压制你认为不利的意见，因为如果你发表意见时也会遭到压制。
切勿盲从任何权威，因为总会发现相反的权威。
当你遇到反对时，即使它来自你的丈夫或你的孩子，也要努力通过争论而不是权威来克服它，因为依赖权威的胜利是不真实和虚幻的。
永远不要试图阻止思考，因为你一定会成功。
不要认为通过隐藏证据来产生信仰是值得的，因为证据肯定会被曝光。
切勿认为任何事物是绝对确定的。
恐惧是盲目信仰的主要来源，也是残酷的主要来源之一。征服恐惧是智慧的开始。
Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
