Excerpt from Caii Sallustii Crispi Jugurtha: For Use in Schools I. Falso queritur de natura sua genus humanum, quod imbecilla atque aevi brevis forte potius quam virtute regatur. Nam contra reputando neque majus aliud neque praestabilius invenies, magisque naturae industriam hominum quam vim aut tempus deesse. Sed dux atque imperator vitae mortalium animus est qui ubi ad gloriam virtutis via grassatur, abunde pollens potensque et clarus est, neque fortunae eget, quippe quae probitatem, industriam, alias artes bonas neque dare neque eripere cuiquam potest sin captus pravis cupidinibus ad inertiam et voluptates corporis pessum datus est, perniciosa luhidine paullisper usus, ubi per socordiam vires, tempus, ingenium defiuxere, naturae infirmitas accusatur; suam quisque culpam auctores ad negotia transferunt. Quod si hominibus bonarum rerum tanta cura esset, quanto studio aliena ac nihil profutura, multumque etiam periculosa petunt, neque mgerentur magis quam regerent casus, et eo magnitudinis procederent, uti pro iimrtalibus gloria aeterni fierent.
