Examples from texts

In proportion as heredity stabilizes the mentality of a nation, social restraints become less necessary to curb its primitive barbarism, because a discipline from within then takes the place of the external discipline imposed by the laws.
A mesure que l'hérédité stabilise la mentalité d'un peuple, les contraintes sociales sont moins nécessaires pour réfréner la sauvagerie primitive. Une discipline interne remplace alors la discipline externe imposée par les lois.
