मेरा यह मतलब बिल्कुल नहीं है कि मैं यह कहकर अपने विचारों का मज़ाक बनवाऊँ कि हर इंसान के साथ जो कुछ भी होता है, वह उसकी भलाई के लिए ही होता है; बल्कि मेरा कहना यह है कि जो व्यक्ति परिस्थितियों का सबसे अच्छा उपयोग करता है, वही एक समझदार और अच्छे इंसान का फर्ज निभाता है।

I do not mean to expose my ideas to ingenious ridicule by maintaining that everything happens to every man for the best; but I will contend, that he who makes the best use of it, fulfills the part of a wise and good man.

चूंकि बाकी सभी मनुष्य किसी स्त्री से जन्म लेते हैं, इसलिए उनकी नाभि होती है, जो गर्भ में पल रहे बच्चों को माँ की आंतों से जोड़ने वाली गर्भनाल के निशानों से बनती है; लेकिन हमारे पहले माता-पिता के साथ ऐसा नहीं हो सकता था। यह कतई नहीं माना जा सकता कि ईश्वर ने उन्हें कोई ऐसी नाभि दी होगी जो पूरी तरह से बेकार होती।

All other men, being born of woman, have a navel, by reason of the umbilical vessels inserted into it, which from the placenta carry nourishment to children in the womb of their mothers; but it could not be so with our first parents. It cannot be believed that God gave them navels which would have been altogether useless.

दूसरों को भाने की कला अक्सर उस चाहत के चक्कर में नाकाम हो जाती है जो इसके साथ जुड़ी होती है। बुद्धिमत्ता, ज्ञान, समझदारी—ऐसी कौन सी चीज़ है जो समाज को लाभ और आनंद न पहुँचा सके? फिर भी मैं इस बात को समझता हूँ कि कोई इंसान इतना अधिक और हमेशा ज्ञानी, विद्वान या चालाक बन सकता है कि वह दूसरों को सुहाए ही नहीं; और इसकी वजह मुझे यह लगती है कि खुशी केवल किसी एक गुण या खूबी के हद से ज्यादा इस्तेमाल से नहीं मिल सकती।

The art of being agreeable frequently miscarries through the ambition which accompanies it. Wit, learning, wisdom,--what can more effectually conduce to the profit and delight of society? Yet I am sensible that a man may be too invariably wise, learned, or witty to be agreeable; and I take the reason of this to be, that pleasure cannot be bestowed by the simple and unmixed exertion of any one faculty or accomplishment.
