Seite 18 - And even this world, while we are in it, ought somewhat 2 to be cared for. As those states are likely to flourish, where execution follows sound advisements, so is man, when contemplation is seconded by action. Contemplation generates ; action propagates.
Seite 93 - Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle quam mihi, non si se luppiter ipse petat. dicit; sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti, in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.

Seite 175 - A grey head with a wise mind, enriched by learning, is a treasury of grave precept, experience, and wisdom. It is an oracle, to which the lesser wise resort, to know their fate.
