E4Cap14
Chapter — Part IV
Latin
Quamvis igitur homines omnia plerumque ex sua libidine moderentur, ex eorum tamen communi societate multo plura commoda quam damna sequuntur. Quare satius est eorum injurias æquo animo ferre et studium iis adhibere quæ concordiæ et amicitiæ conciliandæ inserviunt.
English (Elwes 1883)
Therefore, although men are generally governed in everything by their own lusts, yet their association in common brings many more advantages than drawbacks. Wherefore it is better to bear patiently the wrongs they may do us, and to strive to promote whatsoever serves to bring about harmony and friendship.
Modern English
Although people generally govern everything by their own appetite, far more advantages than harms follow from their common association. It is therefore better to bear their injuries with equanimity and to devote oneself to what serves to bring about harmony and friendship.
