The Affairs Of This World Are So

Ambassadors Are The Eye And Ear Of States.

Be Careful How You Do One Man A Pleasure Which Must Needs Occasion Equal Displeasure In Another. For He Who Is Thus Slighted Will Not Forget, But Will Think The Offence To Himself The Greater In That Another Profits By It; While He Who Receives The Pleasure Will Either Not Remember It, Or Will Consider The Favour Done Him Less Than It Really Was.

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.

By Numberless Examples It Will Evidently Appear That Human Affairs Are As Subject To Change And Fluctuation As The Waters Of The Sea Agitated By The Winds.

We Fight To Great Disadvantage When We Fight With Those Who Have Nothing To Lose.
