Qualis ista philosophia est, quae non interitum afferat pravitatis, sed sit contenta mediocritate vitiorum? Quod ea non occurrentia fingunt, vincunt Aristonem; Illum mallem levares, quo optimum atque humanissimum virum, Cn. Ego vero volo in virtute vim esse quam maximam; Num igitur utiliorem tibi hunc Triarium putas esse posse, quam si tua sint Puteolis granaria? Utinam quidem dicerent alium alio beatiorem! Iam ruinas videres.

At quicum ioca seria, ut dicitur, quicum arcana, quicum occulta omnia? Quasi vero, inquit, perpetua oratio rhetorum solum, non etiam philosophorum sit.

Qui enim voluptatem ipsam contemnunt, iis licet dicere se acupenserem maenae non anteponere. Qui autem de summo bono dissentit de tota philosophiae ratione dissentit. Sed non sunt in eo genere tantae commoditates corporis tamque productae temporibus tamque multae. Quamquam tu hanc copiosiorem etiam soles dicere. In qua quid est boni praeter summam voluptatem, et eam sempiternam? Hunc ipsum Zenonis aiunt esse finem

declarantem illud, quod a te dictum est, convenienter naturae vivere. Tu autem negas fortem esse quemquam posse, qui dolorem malum putet. Primum quid tu dicis breve? Duarum enim vitarum nobis erunt instituta capienda. Videamus animi partes, quarum est conspectus illustrior;

Vitae autem degendae ratio maxime quidem illis placuit quieta. Itaque rursus eadem ratione, qua sum paulo ante usus, haerebitis. Habes, inquam, Cato, formam eorum, de quibus loquor, philosophorum. Ipse Epicurus fortasse redderet, ut Sextus Peducaeus, Sex. Illa sunt similia: hebes acies est cuipiam oculorum, corpore alius senescit; Levatio igitur vitiorum magna fit in iis, qui habent ad virtutem progressionis aliquantum. Si de re disceptari oportet, nulla mihi tecum, Cato, potest esse dissensio. Est enim tanti philosophi tamque nobilis audacter sua decreta defendere.

Nunc omni virtuti vitium contrario nomine opponitur. Nam si +omnino nos+ neglegemus, in Aristonea vitia incidemus et peccata obliviscemurque quae virtuti ipsi principia dederimus; Non est enim vitium in oratione solum, sed etiam in moribus. Quem si tenueris, non modo meum Ciceronem, sed etiam me ipsum abducas licebit. Quae si potest singula consolando levare, universa quo modo sustinebit?

Iam id ipsum absurdum, maximum malum neglegi. Quae quo sunt excelsiores, eo dant clariora indicia naturae. Haec bene dicuntur, nec ego repugno, sed inter sese ipsa pugnant. Nec tamen ille erat sapiens quis enim hoc aut quando aut ubi aut unde? Itaque dicunt nec dubitant: mihi sic usus est, tibi ut opus est facto, fac. Quodsi ipsam honestatem undique pertectam atque absolutam. Sed quod proximum fuit non vidit. Erit enim instructus ad mortem contemnendam, ad exilium, ad ipsum etiam dolorem. In qua quid est boni praeter summam voluptatem, et eam sempiternam? Nonne videmus quanta perturbatio rerum omnium consequatur, quanta confusio?

Quia voluptatem hanc esse sentiunt omnes, quam sensus accipiens movetur et iucunditate

quadam perfunditur. Parvi enim primo ortu sic iacent, tamquam omnino sine animo sint. Sed virtutem ipsam inchoavit, nihil amplius. Inde sermone vario sex illa a Dipylo stadia confecimus. Quis istud possit, inquit, negare?

Nam de isto magna dissensio est. Est autem etiam actio quaedam corporis, quae motus et status naturae congruentis tenet; Aliud igitur esse censet gaudere, aliud non dolere. Praetereo multos, in bis doctum hominem et suavem, Hieronymum, quem iam cur Peripateticum appellem nescio. Indicant pueri, in quibus ut in speculis natura cernitur. Sint ista Graecorum; Sit enim idem caecus, debilis.

Faceres tu quidem, Torquate, haec omnia; Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Idemne potest esse dies saepius, qui semel fuit? Tamen a proposito, inquam, aberramus. Ea, quae dialectici nunc tradunt et docent, nonne ab illis instituta sunt aut inventa sunt? Respondent extrema primis, media utrisque, omnia omnibus. Nunc de hominis summo bono quaeritur; Quem quidem vos, cum improbis poenam proponitis, inpetibilem facitis, cum sapientem semper boni plus habere vultis, tolerabilem. Ergo id est convenienter naturae vivere, a natura discedere.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cuius ad naturam apta ratio vera illa et summa lex a philosophis dicitur. Ita relinquet duas, de quibus etiam atque etiam consideret. Aliter enim nosmet ipsos nosse non possumus. An me, inquam, nisi te audire vellem, censes haec dicturum fuisse?
