and, contrary to others, I am more devout in good than in evil fortune, according to the precept of Xenophon, if not according to his reason; and am more ready to turn up my eyes to heaven to return thanks, than to crave.
Eta, besteak ez bezala, zorionean debotoagoa aurkitzen naiz zorigaitzean baino, Xenofonen arauari jarraikiz, haren arrazoiari ez; eta eskatzeko baino gogotikago eskertzeko goratzen ditut begiak zeru aldera.
