安莫安于知足，危莫危于多言；贵莫贵于无求，贱莫贱于多欲；乐莫乐于好善，苦莫苦于多贪；长莫长于博识，短莫短于自恃；明莫明于体物，暗莫暗于昧几。
最大的安逸，就是知足乐和；最大的危险，就是多言致祸；最为可贵的，就是无欲无求；最为卑贱的，就是贪欲过多；最大的快乐，就是乐善好施；最大的痛悔，就是贪图钱财；最大的长处，就是足智多谋；最大的短处，就是自负自矜；最大的聪明，就是体察天功，最大的昏暗，就是不明征兆。
The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that... no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.
处理一个不自由的世界的唯一方法是变得如此绝对自由，以至于你的存在本身就是一种反抗。
The intellectually sophisticated person is indifferent to all genuine individuality, because relationships and reactions result from it which cannot be exhausted with logical operations.
