As It Is Our Nature To Be

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.]

Affairs That Depend On Many Rarely Succeed.

I Know No Man Who Feels Deeper Disgust Than I Do At The Ambition, Avarice, And Profligacy Of The Priesthood, As Well Because Every One Of These Vices Is Odious In Itself, As Because Each Of Them Separately And All Of Them Together Are Utterly Abhorrent In Men Making Profession Of A Life Dedicated To God.

To Relinquish A Present Good Through Apprehension Of A Future Evil Is In Most Instances Unwise ... From A Fear Which May Afterwards Turn Out Groundless, You Lost The Good That Lay Within Your Grasp.
