"Quem admodum gubernatores optimi vim tempestatis, sic sapientes
fortunæ impetum, superare non possunt.

"Man, considered in himself, is a very helpless and a very wretched
being. He is subject every moment to the greatest calamities and
misfortunes. He is beset with dangers on all sides, and may be
come unhappy by numberless casualties, which he could not fore
see, nor have prevented had he foreseen them." ADDISON.
