Reading edition
"Omnis autem Actio vacare debet temeritate et negligentia: nee vero agere quidquam, cujus non possit causam probabilem reddere."—Cicero de Offic. lib. i. See also Marc. Antonin. lib. viii, cap. 2, and lib. x, cap. 37, together with Gataker's observations.—On this point the remark of Seneca deserves quotation: "Hac [Ratione] duce, per totam vitam eundum est. Minima Maximaque ex hujus consilio gerenda sunt."—De Benefic. lib. ii, cap. 18.
