Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) Quotes
If a hundred or a thousand people, all of the same
age, of the same constitution and habits, were suddenly

to Nature and to their own discretion, I have not the
slightest doubt that there would be more cases of death
amongst the former, and more cases of recovery among
the latter.
