Examine men’s ruling principles, even those of the wise, what kind of things they avoid, and what kind they pursue.[Τὰ ἡγεμονικὰ αὐτῶν διάβλεπε καὶ τοὺς φρονίμους, οἷα μὲν φεύγουσιν, οἷα δὲ διώκουσιν.]
Everyone complains of his memory and no one complains of his judgment.[Tout le monde se plaint de sa mémoire, et personne ne se plaint de son jugement.]
An affair must be judged by its results.
