Stran 291 - And this, in order that every man may know what to look upon as his own, what as another's ; what absolute and what relative duties are required at his hands ; what is to be esteemed honest, dishonest, or indifferent ; what degree every man retains of his natural liberty ; what he has given up as the price of the benefits of society ; and after what manner each person is to moderate the use and exercise of those rights which the state assigns him, in order to promote and secure the public tranquillity.

But when we consider that an unpunished crime leaves the path of crime open, not only to the same delinquent, but also to...
Stran 305 - The laws, in creating property, have created wealth ; but, with respect to poverty, it is not the work of the laws, — it is the primitive condition of the human race. The .man who lives only from day to day is precisely the man in a state of nature.
