We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

  • -- Marcus Annaeus Seneca 马库斯·安纳尤斯·塞内卡

我们可以为几亩地,或一点钱感谢朋友;然而,为了整个地球的自由和秩序,为了我们的存在、我们的生命、健康和理性的巨大利益,我们认为自己没有义务。
