Fortune, Not Wisdom, Rules Lives.

The More Virtuous Any Man Is, The Less Easily Does He Suspect Others To Be Vicious.

Nature Abhors Annihilation.

Of Evils One Should Choose The Least. [lat., Ex Malis Eligere Minima Oportere.]

Time Puts An End To Speculation In Opinions, And Confirms The Laws Of Nature.

History Is The Teacher Of Life
