Choosing a course of action

For you will find that the great majority of mankind go astray in choosing a course of action and, being possessed of more desires for things evil than for things good, take counsel more in the interest of their foes than of themselves.  Isocrates.  On The Peace.  Speech 8.  Section 106.
