Let Every Man Practice The Art That

A Man Does Not Wonder At What He Sees Frequently, Even Though He Be Ignorant Of The Reason. If Anything Happens Which He Has Not Seen Before, He Calls It A Prodigy.

Every Man Can Tell How Many Goats Or Sheep He Possesses, But Not How Many Friends.

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

Opinionum Enim Commenta Delet Dies; Naturæ Judicia Confirmat. Time Destroys The Groundless Conceits Of Men; It Confirms Decisions Founded On Reality.

It Is Not Easy To Distinguish Between True And False Affection, Unless There Occur One Of Those Crises In Which, As Gold Is Tried By Fire, So A Faithful Friendship May Be Tested By Danger.
