Momenta desultoria

Constantijn Huygens

VI. IF thou hope to please all, thy hopes are vaine, if thou feare to displease some, thy fears are idle. The way to please thy selfe, is not to displease the best; and the way to displease the best, is to please the most: if thou canst fashion thy selfe to please all, thou shalt displease him that is All in All.
