Look round the habitable world! how few Know their own good; or knowing it, pursue. — John Dryden
Look round the habitable world! how few Know their own good; or knowing it, pursue.
In the original Omnibus in terris, quae sunt a Gadibus usque
Auroram et Gangen, pauci dinoscere possunt
vera bona atque illis multum diversa, remota
erroris nebula, quid enim ratione timemus
5aut cupimus?
