XIX. Philosophical Maxims. Morals. Polemics and Speculations: 1184.

1184.

Every man wishes to make money to give it to the doctors, destroyers of life; they then ought to be rich. 638

Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false; animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.
