We could also wish that Voltaire had had the sweetness of Duclos, the ingenuousness of Abbé Trublet, the honesty of Abbé d'Olivet.

r those he didn't know and for a time when he was no longer alive. ME: I agree. But weigh the good and bad. A thousand years from now, he'll still make people cry and win men's admiration. In all countries of the world he will inspire humanity, sympathy, tenderness. People will ask who he was, what country he came from, and they'll envy France. He made a few people suffer who are no longer alive and in whom we have hardly any interest. We have nothing to fear from his vices or faults. No doubt it would've been better if nature had given him the virtues of a good man along with the talents of a great man. He's a tree which has caused some trees planted near him to wither up and has suffocated the plants growing at his feet. But he carried his top right up into the sky--his branches stretched a long way. He provided shade to those who came, who come, and who will come to rest alongside his majestic trunk. He produced fruits with an exquisite taste which replenish themselves continuously. AS GOOD ONLY FOR THOSE HE DIDN'T KNOW AND FOR A TIME WHEN HE WAS NO LONGER ALIVE ME I AGREE BUT WEIGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD A THOUSAND YEARS FROM NOW HE'LL STILL MAKE PEOPLE CRY AND WIN MEN'S ADMIRATION IN ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD HE WILL INSPIRE HUMANITY SYMPATHY TENDERNESS PEOPLE WILL ASK WHO HE WAS WHAT COUNTRY HE CAME FROM AND THEY'LL ENVY FRANCE HE MADE A FEW PEOPLE SUFFER WHO ARE NO LONGER ALIVE AND IN WHOM WE HAVE HARDLY ANY INTEREST WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM HIS VICES OR FAULTS NO DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF NATURE HAD GIVEN HIM THE VIRTUES OF A GOOD MAN ALONG WITH THE TALENTS OF A GREAT MAN HE IS A TREE WHICH HAS CAUSED SOME TREES PLANTED NEAR HIM TO WITHER UP AND HAS SUFFOCATED THE PLANTS GROWING AT HIS FEET BUT HE CARRIED HIS TOP RIGHT UP INTO THE SKY HIS BRANCHES STRETCHED A LONG WAY HE PROVIDED SHADE TO THOSE WHO CAME WHO COME AND WHO WILL COME TO REST ALONGSIDE HIS MAJESTIC TRUNK HE PRODUCED FRUITS WITH AN EXQUISITE TASTE WHICH REPLENISH THEMSELVES CONTINUOUSLY
