The passions that incline men to peace are fear of death, desire of such things as are necessary to commodious living, and a hope by their industry to obtain them.
促使人们倾向于和平的激情是对死亡的恐惧，对舒适生活必需品的渴望，以及通过自己的努力获得这些的希望。
在不幸中所表现出来的勇气，通常总是使卑怯的心灵恼怒，而使高尚的心灵喜悦的。
Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tips of my words.
要做的事情有那么多，完成的却只有那么一点。事情就是这样。
