    If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or
    can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs,
    than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his
    house, tho it be in the woods. And if a man knows the law,
    people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort
    to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the
    prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey
    into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or
    can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious
    songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept:
    the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and
    tens and fifties to his door.

Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from
them do not at all times agree, seeing the gods claim to
themselves the right to decide as to the final result.
[Lat., Tametsi prosperitas simul utilitasque consultorum non
obique concordent, quoniam captorum eventus superae sibi
vindicant potestates.]
