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。
