siquidem prudentibus cordacitus insitum est vitare fortuita, sicut itidem absurdum, si coeptis audacibus adversetur eventus, consurgere in querimonias et inconsultarum dispositionum culpabiles exitus ad infamanda casuum incerta convertere.
for it is a rooted principle of the wise to avoid blind hazards, and in the same way it is absurd, when a foolhardy attempt turns out badly, to burst into complaints and make the discreditable results of ill-considered plans an excuse for blaspheming the uncertainties of chance.
