Since There Is Nothing So

How Much Luckier Than All The Rest Of Mankind Are The Astrologers Who, If They Tell One Truth Among A Hundred Lies, Obtain So Much Credit That Even Their Lies Are Believed.

Keep Your Eye Fixed Not So Much On What They [people] Ought In Reason To Do, As On What They Are Likely To Do Based On Their Disposition And Habits.

As It Is Our Nature To Be More Moved By Hope Than Fear, The Example Of One We See Abundantly Rewarded Cheers And Encourages Us Far More Than The Sight Of Many Who Have Not Been Well Treated Disquiets Us.

There Is No Evil In Human Affairs That Has Not Some Good Mingled With It. [it., Non E Male Alcuno Nelle Cose Umane Che Non Abbia Congiunto Seco Qualche Bene.]

Since There Is Nothing So Well Worth Having As Friends, Never Lose A Chance To Make Them.
