ينبغي أن يُنعَم على كل امرئ بالقدر الذي يراه مناسباً
Explanation:
That's my attempt. It probably makes as little sense as the English sentence, but we have to take Frederick's word for it. I just checked the biography of F. the Great (I think it was on Wikipedia, lost the link). Apparently he was an atheist, but also an enlightened humanist. I think what he is alluding to here is that each man is responsible for his own destiny, and whether or not he is blessed is ultimately his own decision.

agree  Randa Farhat: just trying to figure it out: is this a sort of كل نفس لها ما كسبت , [addition]: لكل امريء أن تحل النعمة عليه بقدر ما يناسبه

  -> I'm really not sure. But I think it's such a unique statement, that it would be best to go for a literal translation.// Yes, I like أن تحل النعمة عليه better, thanks.
agree  A Nabil Bouitieh: Absolutely right.

neutral  Nesrin: Note the reference to religion in the following sentence (in the asker's note). I think "blessing" is used here in the religious sense.
