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.
社會源于我們的需求，政府產自我們的邪惡。前者通過凝聚我們的友愛，積極地增進我們的幸福，后者通過遏制我們的惡行，消極地促進我們的福祉。前者鼓勵交往，后者制造差別。前者是庇護人，后者是懲罰者。
