§. 32. Nor was this appropriation of any parcel of land, by improving it, any
prejudice to any other man, since there was still enough and as good left, and
more than the yet unprovided could use. So that, in effect, there was never the
less left for others because of his enclosure for himself. For he that leaves
as much as another can make use of does as good as take nothing at all. Nobody
could think himself injured by the drinking of another man, though he took a
good draught, who had a whole river of the same water left him to quench his
thirst. And the case of land and water, where there is enough of both, is
perfectly the same.
