Subject: Help with classical epithet?

Calvin quotes what he calls an ancient & widely used saying/dicterium:
`ineptum est culpam deprecari, qua potuerim carere, si voluissem'.
He may be freely translating from Greek, or quoting from memory: we have
completely failed to identify the citation.
Anyone recognise the source?

Many thanks,

Hi:

I have been trying to obtain biographical material on the following two
people without success:

Jacques Mathieu
He has published at least three books:
1) Les Memoires quebecoises. Laval, 1991
2) La Nouvelle-France: les francais en amerique du nord, Laval, 1991
3) Les Plaines d'Abraham: Le Culte de l'ideal, publisher not known

Kessler-Harris, Alice
She has also published three books. The most recent is:
A Woman's wage: historical meaning and social consquences. Univ. Press of
Kentucky, 1990.

I have checked all the Who's Who directories and the Biography Master Index.
Anything, however brief would be most welcome.

Thank you.
