el que no tiene abuela, bien puede alabarse a sí mismo. - Erasmus

Están en un error, ¿qué duda cabe?, los que suponen que la dicha humana se halla en las cosas mismas y no en el concepto que de ellas se ha formado,

How fleeting, how brief, how fragile is the life of a man, and how subject to misfortune, assailed already by a multitude of diseases and accidents, buildings which collapse, shipwrecks, earthquakes, lightning! We do not need to add war to our woes, and yet it causes more woe than all the others.

And yet I do not suppose the female sex is so foolish as to become incensed at me for this, that I, a woman and Folly as well, attribute folly to women.
