你爱一个人不是"因为"，而是"尽管"；不是爱其优点，而是包容其缺点。

在自然状态下，所有人确实生而平等，但他们不能保持这种平等。社会使他们失去了这种平等，他们只有通过法律的保护才能重新获得它。

Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.
