We Know Nothing In Reality;

Everywhere Man Blames Nature And Fate Yet His Fate Is Mostly But The Echo Of His Character And Passion, His Mistakes And His Weaknesses.

There Are Innumerable Worlds Of Different Sizes. In Some There Is Neither Sun Not Moon, In Others They Are Larger Than In Ours And Others Have More Than One. These Worlds Are At Irregular Distances, More In One Direction And Less In Another, And Some Are Flourishing, Others Declining. Here They Come Into Being, There They Die, And They Are Distroyed By Collision With One Another. Some Of The Worlds Have No Animal Or Vegetable Life Nor Any Water.

The Laws Would Not Prevent Each Man From Living According To His Inclination, Unless Individuals Harmed Each Other; For Envy Creates The Beginning Of Strife.

The Man Enslaved To Wealth Can Never Be Honest.

Moderation Multiplies Pleasures, And Increases Pleasure.
