When Malice Is Joined To Envy, There

Nor Is Drunkenness Censured For Anything So Much As Its Intemperate And Endless Talk.

As Small Letters Hurt The Sight, So Do Small Matters Him That Is Too Much Intent Upon Them; They Vex And Stir Up Anger, Which Begets An Evil Habit In Him In Reference To Greater Affairs.

Wise Men Are Able To Make A Fitting Use Even Of Their Enmities.

The Conduct Of A Wise Politician Is Ever Suited To The Present Posture Of Affairs. Often By Foregoing A Part He Saves The Whole, And By Yielding In A Small Matter Secures A Greater.

He Shall Fare Well Who Confronts Circumstances Aright.
