In regard to the future, it is clear that one
can argue in the same way; for if we are able and wish to do a thing, it will be
done; and so too will those things which desire, anger, and reasoning urge us to
do, if we have the power. For this reason also, if a man has an eager desire, or
intention, of doing a thing, it will probably be done; since, as a rule, things
that are about to happen are more likely to happen than those which are not.
