The wretchedness of individual man is the certainty of death and the lack of much to give or subsist upon.
The wretchedness of social man is that, to avoid bloodshed, we must tend to, placate and occasionally give way to that rather nasty agglomeration: a majority.
The glory of individual man is a peaceful path to a simple end, especially when that course was sweet to those nearby who knew it.
The glory of social man is the commerce of ideas and goods amongst the cities.
