To govern well a family, and a kingdome, are not different degrees of Prudence; but different sorts of businesse; no more then to draw a picture in little, or as great, or greater then the life, are different degrees of Art.
Familia eta erresuma bat ondo gobernatzeko ez dira zuhurtzi gradu ezberdinak behar; eginkizun ezberdinak burutu behar dira, pinturan naturaleko objektua baino handiagoa, txikiagoa edo berdina pintatzea arte gradu diferenteak ez diren bezalaxe.
