Excerpt from Nouveaux Contes Moraux, Et Nouvelles Historiques, Vol. 5
A trouvoit là uniquement parce qu'il - v avoit passé deux heures il ne s'arrêtoit point à dessein dans le lieu Où le hasard le plaçoit, il ne s'y oublioit point il s'y reposoi't. Ce sont les indolens que la nature a formés pour être les vrais philosophes; dès qu'ils ne sont pas mal ils se trouvent bien ils n'ont besoin ni de lecons, ni de morale, pour préférer la paix et la tranquillité àla fortune; ils'ontbiénmieux que le mépris - de l'intrigue ils ont l'heureuse incapacité de s'y livrer. A l'abri des passions violentes tandis que tout s'agite autour d'eux ils conservent les véritables trésors du sage le calme et la modération ils ne végètent point, car ils peuvent être sensibles et spil rituels mais eux seuls savent apprécier le bonheur de ne pas souffrir eux seuls sa'vent goûter et savourer la douceur infinie des rêveries vagues et du repos et ils font tout cela sans pédanterie, sans ostentation com me sans effort mérite assez rare parmi les philosophes.
