Et quidem illud ipsum non nimium probo et tantum patior, philosophum loqui de cupiditatibus finiendis. Quo plebiscito decreta a senatu est consuli quaestio Cn. Earum etiam rerum, quas terra gignit, educatio quaedam et perfectio est non dissimilis animantium. Sequitur disserendi ratio cognitioque naturae; Moriatur, inquit. Ad eas enim res ab Epicuro praecepta dantur. Potius ergo illa dicantur: turpe esse, viri non esse debilitari dolore, frangi, succumbere.

Materiam vero rerum et copiam apud hos exilem, apud illos uberrimam reperiemus. Istic sum, inquit. Atque ab his initiis profecti omnium virtutum et originem et progressionem persecuti sunt. Iam in altera philosophiae parte. Duae sunt enim res quoque, ne tu verba solum putes. Itaque ab his ordiamur.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Non est igitur summum malum dolor. Minime vero probatur huic disciplinae, de qua loquor, aut iustitiam aut amicitiam propter utilitates adscisci aut probari. Huic mori optimum esse propter desperationem sapientiae, illi propter spem vivere. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. An hoc usque quaque, aliter in vita? Suam denique cuique naturam esse ad vivendum ducem. Sic, et quidem diligentius saepiusque ista loquemur inter nos agemusque communiter. Sed quid minus probandum quam esse aliquem beatum nec satis beatum?

Nam memini etiam quae nolo, oblivisci non possum quae volo. Facillimum id quidem est, inquam. Hanc ergo intuens debet institutum illud quasi signum absolvere. Dicet pro me ipsa virtus nec dubitabit isti vestro beato M. Quorum altera prosunt, nocent altera. Oculorum, inquit Plato, est in nobis sensus acerrimus, quibus sapientiam non cernimus. Et quidem iure fortasse, sed tamen non gravissimum est testimonium multitudinis. Aufert enim sensus actionemque tollit omnem. Facillimum id quidem est, inquam. Quantam rem agas, ut Circeis qui habitet totum hunc mundum suum municipium esse existimet? Quae diligentissime contra Aristonem

dicuntur a Chryippo.

Quod praeceptum quia maius erat, quam ut ab homine videretur, idcirco assignatum est deo. Quamquam te quidem video minime esse deterritum. Qui non moveatur et offensione turpitudinis et comprobatione honestatis? Cur post Tarentum ad Archytam? At miser, si in flagitiosa et vitiosa vita afflueret voluptatibus.

An potest cupiditas finiri? Eaedem res maneant alio modo. Sed haec in pueris; Tu autem, si tibi illa probabantur, cur non propriis verbis ea tenebas? Utinam quidem dicerent alium alio beatiorem! Iam ruinas videres. Quid enim ab antiquis ex eo genere, quod ad disserendum valet, praetermissum est? An hoc usque quaque, aliter in vita? Nescio quo modo praetervolavit oratio. Qui autem esse poteris, nisi te amor ipse ceperit? Illa videamus, quae a te de amicitia dicta sunt.

-, sed ut hoc iudicaremus, non esse in iis partem maximam positam beate aut secus vivendi. Id est enim, de quo quaerimus. Isto modo ne improbos quidem, si essent boni viri. Ut enim consuetudo loquitur, id solum dicitur honestum, quod est populari fama gloriosum. Neque solum ea communia, verum etiam paria esse dixerunt. Theophrasti igitur, inquit, tibi liber ille placet de beata vita? Te enim iudicem aequum puto, modo quae dicat ille bene noris. Cum autem in quo sapienter dicimus, id a primo rectissime dicitur.

Varietates autem iniurasque fortunae facile veteres philosophorum praeceptis instituta vita superabat. Quae in controversiam veniunt, de iis, si placet, disseramus. Tu enim ista lenius, hic Stoicorum more nos vexat. Videamus igitur sententias eorum, tum ad verba redeamus. Non est igitur summum malum dolor. Nam quibus rebus efficiuntur voluptates, eae non sunt in potestate sapientis. Sed quanta sit alias, nunc tantum possitne esse tanta. Quid ergo attinet gloriose loqui, nisi constanter loquare? Si longus, levis.

Et hanc quidem primam exigam a te operam, ut audias me quae a te dicta sunt refellentem. Quod si ita sit, cur opera

philosophiae sit danda nescio.
