408. Evil is easy, and has infinite forms; good is almost unique. But a
certain kind of evil is as difficult to find as what we call good; and often
on this account such particular evil gets passed off as good. An
extraordinary greatness of soul is needed in order to attain to it as well
as to good.

409. The greatness of man.--The greatness of man is so evident that it is
even proved by his wretchedness. For what in animals is nature, we call in
man wretchedness, by which we recognise that, his nature being now like that
of animals, he has fallen from a better nature which once was his.

For who is unhappy at not being a king, except a deposed king? Was Paulus
Aemilius unhappy at being no longer consul? On the contrary, everybody
thought him happy in having been consul, because the office could only be
held for a time. But men thought Perseus so unhappy in being no longer king,
because the condition of kingship implied his being always king, that they
thought it strange that he endured life. Who is unhappy at only having one
mouth? And who is not unhappy at having only one eye? Probably no man ever
ventured to mourn at not having three eyes. But any one is inconsolable at
having none.

410. Perseus, King of Macedon.--Paulus Aemilius reproached Perseus for not
killing himself.

411. Notwithstanding the sight of all our miserie
