interpret it���察�their own consciences。;Cicero�察�De Offic。�察�iii。 10。��
Virtue is a very vain and frivolous thing if it derive its recommendation
from glory�察�and 'tis to no purpose that we endeavour to give it a station
by itself�察�and separate it from fortune�察�for what is more accidental than
reputation��
;Profecto fortuna in omni re dominatur�此�ea res cunctas ex
libidine magis�察�quhm ex vero�察�celebrat�察�obscuratque。;
�А�Fortune rules in all things�察�it advances and depresses things
more out of its own will than of right and justice。;
Sallust�察�Catilina�察�c。 8。��
So to order it that actions may be known and seen is purely the work of
fortune�察�'tis chance that helps us to glory�察�according to its own
temerity。 I have often seen her go before merit�察�and often very much
outstrip it。 He who first likened glory to a shadow did better than he
was aware of�察�they are both of them things pre´eminently vain glory also��
like a shadow�察�goes sometimes before the body�察�and sometimes in length
infinitely exceeds it。 They who instruct gentlemen only to employ their
valour for the obtaining of honour��
;Quasi non sit honestum�察�quod nobilitatum non sit�察�
�А�As though it were not a virtue�察�unless celebrated;
Cicero De Offic。 iii。 10。��
what do they intend by that but to instruct them never to hazard
themselves if they are not seen�察�and to observe well if there be
witnesses present who may carry news of their valour�察�whereas a thousand
occasions of well´doing present themselves which cannot be taken notice
of�拭 �How many brave individual actions are buried in the crowd of a
battle�拭 �Whoever shall take upon him to watch another's behaviour in such
a confusion is not very busy himself�察�and the testimony he shall give of
his companions' deportment will be evidence against himself��
;Vera et sapiens animi magnitudo�察�honestum illud��
quod maxime naturam sequitur�察�in factis positum��
non in gloria�察�judicat。;
�А�The true and wise magnanimity judges that the bravery which most
follows nature more consists in act than glory。;
Cicero�察�De Offic。 i。 19。��
All the glory that I pretend to derive from my life is that I have lived
it in quiet�察�in quiet�察�not according to Metrodorus�察�or Arcesilaus�察�or
Aristippus�察�but according to myself。 For seeing philosophy has not been
able to find out any way to tranquillity that is good in common�察�let
every one seek it in particular。
To what do Caesar and Alexander owe the infinite grandeur of their renown
but to fortune�拭 �How many men has she extinguished in the beginning of
their progress�察�of whom we have no knowledge�察�who brought as much courage
to the work as they�察�if their adverse hap had not cut them off in the
first sally of their arms�拭 �Amongst so many and so great dangers I do not
remember I have anywhere read that Caesar was ever wounded�察�a thousand
have fallen in less dangers than the least of those he went through。 An
infinite number of brave actions must be performed without witness and
lost�察�before one turns to account。 A man is not always on the top of a
breach�察�or at the head of an army�察�in the sight of his general�察�as upon a
scaffold�察�a man is often surprised betwixt the hedge and the ditch�察�he
must run the hazard of his life against a henroost�察�he must dislodge four
rascally musketeers out of a barn�察�he must prick out single from his
party�察�and alone make some attempts�察�according as necessity will have it。
And whoever will observe will�察�I believe�察�find it experimentally true��
that occasions of the least lustre are ever the most dangerous�察�and that
in the wars of our own times there have more brave men been lost in
occasions of little moment�察�and in the dispute about some little paltry
fort�察�than in places of greatest importance�察�and where their valour might
have been more honourably employed。
Who thinks his death achieved to ill purpose if he do not fall on some
signal occasion�察�instead of illustrating his death�察�wilfully obscures his
life�察�suffering in the meantime many very just occasions of hazarding
himself to slip out of his hands�察�and every just one is illustrious
enough�察�every man's conscience being a sufficient trumpet to him。
;Gloria nostra est testimonium conscientiae nostrae。;
�А�For our rejoicing is this�察�the testimony of our conscience。;
Corinthians�察�i。 I。��
He who is only a good man that men may know it�察�and that he may be the
better esteemed when 'tis known�察�who will not do well but upon condition
that his virtue may be known to men�此�is one from whom much service is not
to be expected��
;Credo ch 'el reste di quel verno�察�cose
Facesse degne di tener ne conto��
Ma fur fin' a quel tempo si nascose��
Che non a colpa mia s' hor 'non le conto
Perche Orlando a far l'opre virtuose
Piu ch'a narrar le poi sempre era pronto��
Ne mai fu alcun' de'suoi fatti espresso��
Se non quando ebbe i testimonii appresso。;
�А�The rest of the winter�察�I believe�察�was spent in actions worthy of
narration�察�but they were done so secretly that if I do not tell them
I am not to blame�察�for Orlando was more bent to do great acts than
to boast of them�察�so that no deeds of his were ever known but those
that had witnesses。;Ariosto�察�Orlando Furioso�察�xi。 81。��
A man must go to the war upon the account of duty�察�and expect the
recompense that never fails brave and worthy actions�察�how private soever��
or even virtuous thoughts´the satisfaction that a well´disposed
conscience receives in itself in doing well。 A man must be valiant for
himself�察�and upon account of the advantage it is to him to have his
courage seated in a firm and secure place against the assaults of
fortune��
;Virtus�察�repulsaa nescia sordidx
Intaminatis fulget honoribus
Nec sumit�察�aut ponit secures
Arbitrio popularis aura。;
�А�Virtue�察�repudiating all base repulse�察�shines in taintless
honours�察�nor takes nor leaves dignity at the mere will of the
vulgar。; Horace�察�Od。�察�iii。 2�察�17。��
It is not for outward show that the soul is to play its part�察�but for
ourselves within�察�where no eyes can pierce but our own�察�there she defends
us from the fear of death�察�of pain�察�of shame itself�此�there she arms us
against the loss of our children�察�friends�察�and fortunes�此�and when
opportunity presents itself�察�she leads us on to the hazards of war��
;Non emolumento aliquo�察�sed ipsius honestatis decore。;
�А�Not for any profit�察�but for the honour of honesty itself。;
Cicero�察�De Finib。�察�i。 10。��
This profit is of much greater advantage�察�and more worthy to be coveted
and hoped for�察�than�察�honour and glory�察�which are no other than a
favourable judgment given of us。
A dozen men must be called out of a whole nation to judge about an acre
of land�察�and the judgment of our inclinations and actions�察�the most
difficult and most important matter that is�察�we refer to the voice and
determination of the rabble�察�the mother of ignorance�察�injustice�察�and
inconstancy。 Is it reasonable that the life of a wise man should
depend upon the judgment of fools��
;An quidquam stultius�察�quam�察�quos singulos contemnas��
eos aliquid putare esse universes�拭�
�А�Can anything be more foolish than to think that those you despise
singly�察�can be anything else in general。;
Cicero�察�Tusc。 Quaes。�察�v。 36。��
He that makes it his business to please them�察�will have enough to do and
never have done�察�'tis a mark that can never be aimed at or hit��
;Nil tam inaestimabile est�察�quam animi multitudinis。;
�А�Nothing is to be so little understood as the minds of the
multitude。;Livy�察�xxxi。 34。��
Demetrius pleasantly said of the voice of the people�察�that he made no
more account of that which came from above than of that which came from
below。 He ��Cicero�А�says more��
;Ego hoc judico�察�si quando turpe non sit�察�tamen non
esse non turpe�察�quum id a multitudine laudatur。;
�А�I am of opinion�察�that though a thing be not foul in itself��
yet it cannot but become so when commended by the multitude。;
Cicero�察�De Finib。�察�ii。 15。��
No art�察�no activity of wit�察�could conduct our steps so as to follow so
wandering and so irregular a guide�察�in this windy confusion of the noise
of vulgar reports and opinions that drive us on�察�no way worth anything
can be chosen。 Let us not propose to ourselves so floating and wavering
an end�察�let us follow constantly after reason�察�let the public approbation
follow us there�察�if it will�察�and as it wholly depends upon fortune�察�we
have no reason sooner to expect it by any other way than that。 Even
though I would not follow the right way because it is right�察�I should��
however�察�follow it as having experimentally found that�察�at the end of
the reckoning�察�'tis commonly the most happy and of greatest utility
;Dedit hoc providentia hominibus munus��
ut honesta magis juvarent。;
�А�This gift Providence has given to men�察�that honest things should
be the most agreeable。;Quintilian�察�Inst。 Orat。�察�i。 12。��
The mariner of old said thus to Neptune�察�in a great tempest�此 �O God�察�thou
wilt save me if thou wilt�察�and if thou choosest�察�thou wilt destroy me��
but�察�however�察�I will hold my rudder straight。;��Seneca�察�Ep。�察�85。��
I have seen in my time a thousand men supple�察�halfbred�察�ambiguous�察�whom
no one doubted to be more worldly´wise than I�察�lose themselves�察�where I
have saved myself��
;Risi successus posse carere dolos。;
�А�I have laughed to see cunning fail of success。;
Ovid�察�Heroid�察�i。 18。��
Paulus AEmilius�察�going on the glorious expedition of Macedonia�察�above all
things charged the people of Rome not to speak of his actions during his
absence。 Oh�察�the license of judgments is a great disturbance to great
affairs� �forasmuch as every one has not the firmness of Fabius against
common�察�adverse�察�and injurious tongues�察�who rather suffered his authority
