Kun korppi koikkuu onnettomuutta ennustaen, älköön se näky sinua säikäyttäkö, vaan heti selitä ja sano itsellesi: tuo ei aavista mitään minulle, vaan ehkä raukalle ruumiilleni tai vähäpätöisille varoilleni tai mukamalle maineelleni tai lapsilleni tai vaimolleni. Minulle ennustaa kaikki onnea, jos minä tahdon, sillä mitä hyvänsä niistä tapahtuneekin, on minun vallassani käyttää sitä hyödykseni.
