Piso, familiaris noster, et alia multa et hoc loco Stoicos irridebat: Quid enim? Sed quid attinet de rebus tam apertis plura requirere? Hoc dixerit potius Ennius: Nimium boni est, cui nihil est mali. In qua si nihil est praeter rationem, sit in una virtute finis bonorum; Quae in controversiam veniunt, de iis, si placet, disseramus. Sed eum qui audiebant, quoad poterant, defendebant sententiam suam. Virtutis, magnitudinis animi, patientiae, fortitudinis fomentis dolor mitigari solet.

Ille enim occurrentia nescio quae comminiscebatur; Quicquid porro animo cernimus, id omne oritur a sensibus; Quae est igitur causa istarum angustiarum? Quae si potest singula consolando levare, universa quo modo sustinebit? An est aliquid per se ipsum flagitiosum, etiamsi nulla comitetur infamia? Quem si tenueris, non modo meum Ciceronem, sed etiam me ipsum abducas licebit. Quae sequuntur igitur? Ubi ut eam caperet aut quando?

Mihi enim erit isdem istis fortasse iam utendum. Itaque rursus eadem ratione, qua sum paulo ante usus, haerebitis. Quae diligentissime contra Aristonem dicuntur a Chryippo. Ergo adhuc, quantum equidem intellego, causa non videtur fuisse mutandi nominis. Cum ageremus, inquit, vitae beatum et eundem supremum diem, scribebamus haec. Quodsi ipsam honestatem undique pertectam atque absolutam.

Virtutis, magnitudinis animi, patientiae, fortitudinis fomentis dolor mitigari solet. Ita graviter et severe voluptatem secrevit a bono. Refert tamen, quo modo. Miserum hominem! Si dolor summum malum est, dici aliter non potest. Quid enim tanto opus est instrumento in optimis artibus comparandis? Et si in ipsa gubernatione neglegentia est navis eversa, maius est peccatum in auro quam in palea. Scaevolam M.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut id aliis narrare gestiant? Sed tamen intellego quid velit. Nam his libris eum malo quam reliquo ornatu villae delectari. Duo Reges: constructio interrete.

Fatebuntur Stoici

haec omnia dicta esse praeclare, neque eam causam Zenoni desciscendi fuisse. Ita fit ut, quanta differentia est in principiis naturalibus, tanta sit in finibus bonorum malorumque dissimilitudo. Isto modo ne improbos quidem, si essent boni viri. Verum hoc loco sumo verbis his eandem certe vim voluptatis Epicurum nosse quam ceteros. Quare hoc videndum est, possitne nobis hoc ratio philosophorum dare. De hominibus dici non necesse est. Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae?

Quis est tam dissimile homini. Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Sed tempus est, si videtur, et recta quidem ad me. Quid ergo hoc loco intellegit honestum? Summus dolor plures dies manere non potest? Immo vero, inquit, ad beatissime vivendum parum est, ad beate vero satis. Certe, nisi voluptatem tanti aestimaretis. Ad eas enim res ab Epicuro praecepta dantur. Respondent extrema primis, media utrisque, omnia omnibus. Sed vobis voluptatum perceptarum recordatio vitam beatam facit, et quidem corpore perceptarum.

Primum Theophrasti, Strato, physicum se voluit; Verum tamen cum de rebus grandioribus dicas, ipsae res verba rapiunt; Quam illa ardentis amores excitaret sui! Cur tandem? Quae cum dixisset paulumque institisset, Quid est?

Non quam nostram quidem, inquit Pomponius iocans; Ut necesse sit

omnium rerum, quae natura vigeant, similem esse finem, non eundem. Potius inflammat, ut coercendi magis quam dedocendi esse videantur. Nam Pyrrho, Aristo, Erillus iam diu abiecti. Quod idem cum vestri faciant, non satis magnam tribuunt inventoribus gratiam. Deinde prima illa, quae in congressu solemus: Quid tu, inquit, huc?

Huius ego nunc auctoritatem sequens idem faciam. Aliter autem vobis placet. Quae similitudo in genere etiam humano apparet. Fatebuntur Stoici haec omnia dicta esse praeclare, neque eam causam Zenoni desciscendi fuisse. Verba tu fingas et ea dicas, quae non sentias? Themistocles quidem, cum ei Simonides an quis alius artem memoriae polliceretur, Oblivionis, inquit, mallem.
