There Is No Evil In Human Affairs

Waste No Time With Revolutions That Do Not Remove The Causes Of Your Complaints But Simply Change The Faces Of Those In Charge.

The Affairs Of This World Are So Shifting And Depend On So Many Accidents, That It Is Hard To Form Any Judgment Concerning The Future; Nay, We See From Experience That The Forecasts Even Of The Wise Almost Always Turn Out False.

Ambition Is Not In Itself An Evil; Nor Is He To Be Condemned Whose Spirit Prompts Him To Seek Fame By Worthy And Honourable Ways.

Pay No Heed To Those Who Tell You That They Have Relinquished Place And Power Of Their Own Accord, And From Their Love Of Quiet. For Almost Always They Have Been Brought To This Retirement By Their Insufficiency And Against Their Will.

To Give Vent Now And Then To His Feelings, Whether Of Pleasure Or Discontent, Is A Great Ease To A Man's Heart.
