6. Ничто так не содействует торжеству разума, как спокойствие тех, которые служат ему. Истина страдает часто более от горячности своих защитников, чем от нападок своих противников.
6. Nothing so furthers the triumph of reason as the calm of those who serve it. Truth often suffers more from the heat of its defenders than from the attacks of its opponents.

Penn’s own wordsNothing does Reason more Right, than the Coolness of those that offer it: For Truth often suffers more by the Heat of its Defenders, than from the Arguments of its Opposers.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Some Fruits of Solitude (1693), maxim 142, under 'Temper', Part I, no. 142; London: Freemantle, 1901 (introduction by Edmund Gosse).
«Пэн» is William Penn, as November found for the same signature (11-24.4, Fruits of Solitude no. 145). The Jubilee name index refers «Пэн» on this page (vol. 41, p. 298) to Thomas Paine; that is wrong. Tolstoy's attribution is right as written; the English signature should read Penn. Close in sense, with three words changed: 'Nothing does Reason more Right' becomes 'Nothing so much furthers the triumph of reason' (Ничто так не содействует торжеству разума); 'those that offer it' becomes 'those who serve it' (тех, которые служат ему); and 'the Arguments of its Opposers' becomes 'the attacks of its opponents' (от нападок своих противников). Penn's 'For' is dropped and the maxim made two sentences. No printable, for the changed words.
2. Тщеславный так полон самим собою, что в нем нет места ничему другому.
2. The vain man is so full of himself that there is no room in him for anything else.

From Some Fruits of Solitude, in Reflections and Maxims · shortened by Tolstoy (more).
Penn’s own wordsBut a Vain Man is a Nauseous Creature : He is so full of himself that he has no Room for any Thing else, be it never so Good or Deserving.

Shortened: 'But a Vain Man is a Nauseous Creature' and 'be it never so Good or Deserving' are left out, and the middle clause, 'He is so full of himself that he has no Room for any Thing else', is made the whole thought, with 'the vain man' as its subject (Тщеславный так полон самим собою, что в нем нет места ничему другому). «Пэн» is William Penn, as May (5-2.6) and November (11-24.4) found for the same signature and the same book; the Jubilee name index refers this page (vol. 41, p. 555) to Thomas Paine, which is wrong. No printable, for the cut.
4. Не верь без доказательств ничему дурному о ближнем и не передавай никому ничего дурного о другом.
4. Believe nothing bad about your neighbor without proof, and pass on to no one anything bad about another.
Penn.
From Some Fruits of Solitude · shortened by Tolstoy (more).
Penn’s own wordsBelieve nothing against another but upon good Authority : Nor report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to others to conceal it.

«Пэн» is William Penn, not Paine. Faithful for the first half; Tolstoy drops Penn's exception ('unless it be a greater hurt to others to conceal it').
