7. Счастье и несчастье человека — не в собственности и не в золоте; счастье и несчастье — в его душе.
Не тот добр, кто не делает несправедливостей, а тот, кто не чувствует ни малейшей охоты к этому.
Мудрый чувствует себя как дома в каждой стране; отечеством для благородной души служит вся вселенная.
7. A man’s happiness and unhappiness lie not in property and not in gold; happiness and unhappiness lie in his soul.
It is not he who does no injustice that is good, but he who feels not the slightest desire to do it.
The wise man feels at home in every land; to a noble soul the whole universe serves as a fatherland.
From Fragments · joined by Tolstoy from several places (more).
Original · Ancient Greek… εὐδαιμονίη ψυχῆς καὶ κακοδαιμονίη.
… εὐδαιμονίη οὐκ ἐν βοσκήμασιν οἰκεῖ οὐδὲ Ev χρυσῶι: ψυχὴ οἰκητήριον δαίμονος.
… ἀγαθὸν οὐ τὸ μὴ ἀδικεῖν, ἀλλὰ τὸ μηδὲ ἐθέλειν …
… ἀνδρὶ σοφῶι πᾶσα τῆ βατή᾽ ψυχῆς Yap ἀγαθῆς πατρὶς ὁ ξύμπὰς κόσμος.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Fragments (in Stobaeus, Anthology), Diels B 170 and 171 (Stobaeus II.7.3i); B 62 (Stobaeus III.9.29); B 247 (Stobaeus III.40.7).
Three sayings of Democritus preserved by Stobaeus, one to a paragraph. The first joins two that Stobaeus prints together: "happiness and unhappiness belong to the soul" (B 170) and "happiness dwells not in herds nor in gold; the soul is the dwelling-place of the daimon" (B 171). Tolstoy puts the herds and the gold first and makes the herds «собственность» (property); the daimon's dwelling drops out. The second is close: "good is not the not doing wrong, but the not even wishing to" (B 62) becomes «Не тот добр, кто не делает несправедливостей, а тот, кто не чувствует ни малейшей охоты к этому». The third is close too: "to a wise man every land is open, for the fatherland of a good soul is the whole world" (B 247), where "every land is open" becomes «чувствует себя как дома в каждой стране» (feels at home in every country) and the good soul a noble one. B 62 is also transmitted among the sayings of "Democrates". Where Tolstoy read the three was not found. Moralistes anciens (1841), on his list of sources, gives a free French version of the second among the sayings of Democrates ("bannis même l'injustice de ta pensée"), far from Tolstoy's wording, and neither of the others; Boiste's dictionary, the source of 5-6.5 and 5-23.3, has none of them. The scan's Greek is quoted as it stands: in B 171 it reads "Ev" for ἐν and a colon for the raised point; in B 247 "τῆ" for γῆ, "Yap" for γὰρ, and "ξύμπὰς" for ξύμπας.
