242. Suum cuique. - Wie gross auch die Habsucht meiner Erkenntniss ist: ich kann aus den Dingen nichts Anderes herausnehmen, als was mir schon gehört, - das Besitzthum Anderer bleibt in den Dingen zurück. Wie ist es möglich, dass ein Mensch Dieb oder Räuber sei!

242. Suum cuique. However great the acquisitiveness of my knowledge may be, I can take from things nothing other than what already belongs to me; the property of others remains behind in the things. How is it possible for a person to be a thief or robber!

242. Suum cuique. Si grande que soit l’avidité de ma connaissance, je ne peux tirer des choses rien d’autre que ce qui m’appartient déjà ; la propriété d’autrui demeure dans les choses. Comment est-il possible qu’un homme soit voleur ou brigand !
