A good world needs knowledge， kindliness， and courage； it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men.
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 being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.
