"Les passions qui inclinent les hommes à la paix sont la peur de la mort le désir des choses nécessaires à une vie confortable et l'espoir de les obtenir par leur industrie"

Simplified Meaning:

People want to live peacefully because they are afraid of dying and want things that make life comfortable. For example, imagine someone working hard to buy a nice home, good food, and have savings for the future. They do this because having these things makes them feel safe and happy. The idea is that by working towards these comforts, people can avoid dangerous situations or conflict. Essentially, our desire to live well and be secure motivates us to act peacefully and responsibly in our lives.
