Fighting to avenge an injury is not to be thought of: we have nothing to avenge, for no one provokes us, our neighbours are courteous and have good manners.
De nous battre pour réparer une offense, il n’y fallait pas songer : nous n’avons rien à réparer, personne ne nous provoque, nos voisins sont gens polis et de bon ton.
