Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
社会源于我们的需求，政府产自我们的邪恶。前者通过凝聚我们的友爱，积极地增进我们的幸福，后者通过遏制我们的恶行，消极地促进我们的福祉。前者鼓励交往，后者制造差别。前者是庇护人，后者是惩罚者。
首先他们无视于你，而后是嘲笑你，接着是批斗你，再来就是你的胜利之日。

我们都是自己的监狱，也是自己的狱卒。
I’ve learned that you have to be fearless in going after what you want.
The past is not a single story but a chorus of voices.
