The present state of the system of nature is evidently a consequence of what it was in the preceding moment, and if we conceive of an intelligence which at a given instant comprehends all the relations of the entities of this universe, it could state the respective positions, motions, and general effects of all these entities at any time in the past or future.
译文：厚道的人不去做损害、诋毁别人的事来使自己得益，仁义的人不危害别人而为自己求取名誉。
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want, and if they cannot find them, make them.
