Wikiquote quote of the day:
Man comes into the world naked and unarmed, as if nature had
destined him for a social creature, and ordained him to live under
equitable laws and in peace; as if she had desired that he should be
guided by reason rather than be driven by force; therefore did she endow
him with understanding, and furnish him with hands, that he might
himself contrive what was necessary to his clothing and protection. To
those animals to which nature has given vast strength, she has also
presented weapons in harmony with their powers; to those that are not
thus vigorous, she has given ingenuity, cunning, and singular dexterity
in avoiding injury.
