If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.*

    Wenn ein Mann sagt, dass es richtig ist, jedem seine Schuld zu geben, und deshalb in seinem eigenen Verstand denkt, dass eine Verletzung von einem gerechten Mann auf seine Feinde, aber Freundlichkeit auf seine Freunde zurückzuführen ist, war er nicht weise, der dies sagte, denn er sprach nicht die Wahrheit, denn in keinem Fall schien es nur zu sein, jemanden zu verletzen. *

    Если человек говорит, что правильно отдавать каждому должное, и поэтому в своем уме думает, что справедливый человек причиняет вред своим врагам, а доброта - своим друзьям, то он не поступил мудро, сказав это, потому что он сказал не правда, потому что ни в коем случае это не казалось справедливым для кого-либо.

    如果一个人说给每个人应有的义务是正确的,并因此在他自己的思想范围内认为伤害是公正的人对他的敌人造成的伤害,但对他的朋友却是仁慈的,那么他这样说是不明智的,因为他说不是事实,因为在任何情况下似乎都不会伤害任何人。*

    如果一個人說給每個人應有的義務是正確的,並因此在他自己的思想範圍內認為傷害是公正的人對他的敵人造成的傷害,但對他的朋友卻是仁慈的,那麼他這樣說是不明智的,因為他說不是事實,因為在任何情況下似乎都不會傷害任何人。*
