Led on by impulse, and blind and ungovernable desires.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
An incurable itch for scribbling takes possession of many, and grows inveterate in their insane breasts.
One gets a cross for his crime, the other a crown.
Pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
All wish to be learned, but no one is willing to pay the price.
