It Is When Fortune Is The Most

We Can Endure Neither Our Vices Nor Their Cure.

Fame Opportunely Despised Often Comes Back Redoubled.

Under The Influence Of Fear, Which Always Leads Men To Take A Pessimistic View Of Things, They Magnified Their Enemies' Resources, And Minimized Their Own.

We Feel Public Misfortunes Just So Far As They Affect Our Private Circumstances, And Nothing Of This Nature Appeals More Directly To Us Than The Loss Of Money.

No Wickedness Proceeds On Any Grounds Of Reason.
