“ὅτι μόνον τὸ καλὸν ἀγαθόν.”
vereor ne cui vestrum ex Socraticorum hominum
disputationibus, non ex meo sensu deprompta haec videatur oratio; dicam quod sentio tamen et dicam brevius
quam res tanta dici potest. numquam hercule ego neque pecunias istorum neque tecta magnifica neque opes
neque imperia neque eas, quibus maxime astricti sunt,
voluptates in bonis rebus aut expetendis esse duxi,
quippe cum viderem rebus his circumfluentis ea tamen
desiderare maxime, quibus abundarent; neque enim umquam expletur nec satiatur cupiditatis sitis, neque solum ea qui habent libidine augendi cruciantur, sed etiam
amittendi metu.
