“Fortunam insanam esse et caecam et brutam perhibent philosophi, ... Insanam autem esse aiunt quia atrox incerta instabilisque sit; caecam ob eam rem esse iterant quia nil cernat quo sese adplicet; brutam quia dignum atque indignum nequeat internoscere. Sunt autem alii philosophi qui contra Fortunam negant esse ullam sed temeritate res regi umnes autumant. Id magis verisimile esse usus reapse experiundo edocet.”
