VOL. II.

Pauci prudentiâ honesta ab deterioribus, utilia ab noxiis discernunt: plures
aliorum eventis docentur.
TAC. 4. Ann. 33.

Few are qualified by their own reflection to mark the boundaries between
vice and virtue. To separate the useful from that which leads to destruction
is not the talent of every man. The example of others is the school of
wisdom.
