Nemo non quaerit passim sua commoda, Nemon / Non querit sese' cunctis in rebus agendis, // Nemo non inhiat priuatis vndique lueris, // Hic trahit, ille trahit, cunctis amor unus habendi est.

[Nobody knows himself, nobody who doesn't seek his advantage everywhere, nobody who doesn't seek himself in everything he does, nobody who doesn't see his own advantage everywhere. One draws, the other draws, everyone has the same greed.]
