Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.

人们要么被纵容，要么被彻底毁灭，因为如果你仅仅冒犯了他们，他们就会报复;但是如果你伤害了他们，他们就无法报复，所以对一个人的伤害应该是如此之大，以至于复仇是不可怕的。
