Wise Men Say, And Not

Men Walk Almost Always In The Paths Trodden By Others, Proceeding In Their Actions By Imitation.

The Peasant Wants Only To Be Left Alone To Prosper In Peace.

Good Order Makes Men Bold, And Confusion, Cowards.

All Who Contribute To The Overthrow Of Religion, Or To The Ruin Of Kingdoms And Commonwealths, All Who Are Foes To Letters And To The Arts Which Confer Honour And Benefit On The Human Race (among Whom I Reckon The Impious, The Cruel, The Ignorant, The Indolent, The Base And The Worthless), Are Held In Infamy And Detestation.

Men Are More Ready To Offend One Who Desires To Be Beloved Than One Who Wishes To Be Feared.
