The Important Thing

Diderot, Rameau's Nephew (tr. Margaret Mauldon):
The important thing is to open your bowels easily, freely, enjoyably, copiously, every evening; o stercus pretiosum! That's the grand outcome of life in every condition.

Le point important est d'aller aisément, librement, agréablement, copieusement tous les soirs à la garde-robe. O stercus pretiosum! Voilà le grand résultat de la vie dans tous les états.
