The present state of the system of nature is evidently a consequence of what it was in the preceding moment, and if we conceive of an intelligence which at a given instant comprehends all the relations of the entities of this universe, it could state the respective positions, motions, and general effects of all these entities at any time in the past or future.

一个“履行”的话语不是真或假,而是成功或失败。
译文:有一种忠心被人视为愚行,就是“愚忠”,也有一种孝行被人视为愚行,那是“愚孝”,由此可知,“忠”,“孝”两个字,太过聪明的人是做不来的。同样地,仁和义的行为中,也有虚伪的“假仁”和“假义”,由此可以知道,在一般人所说的仁义之士中,不见得没有奸险狡诈的人。
