Logic or Ethics Ch Summum bonum

3

Ch/utim 3. The person it belongs to is not the owner, but
Fortune.

Literally the thing is placed not in our power but
in the temerity of Fortune. Non in nostra potestate, sed in
Fortuna timintate
. In the union of rhetoric with poetry with rhetoric
lay the great strength of in Du Fortuna and the two later, his argument; decanted out
of Latin into G English in part of it evaporates flies off.
The difficulty In truth what is it that remains? that the matter of wealth
is a slippery sort of thing — that it is liable to slip out
of people's a man's hands is what we were told just before was the matter of the first of these objections:
and for such information news, surely one ones telling was might have been sufficient.

If in this place that be not all, what more is there in it?
That Fortune is a woman, and that this woman is a
rash one? — Good perhaps in rhetoric — but this is a
book on Ethics. Good in rhetoric? — no: not even there.
