    Αν όλες οι κακοτυχίες ήταν στριμωγμένες σε έναν κοινό σωρό όπου όλοι πρέπει να πάρουν ίση μερίδα, οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι θα ήταν ευχαριστημένοι να πάρουν τις δικές τους και να φύγουν.

    si tous les malheurs étaient mis en un tas commun d'où chacun doit prendre une part égale, la plupart des gens se contenteraient de prendre le leur et de s'en aller.

    если бы все несчастья были уложены в одну общую кучу, откуда каждый должен был бы взять равную долю, большинство людей были бы довольны тем, что забрали свое и ушли.
