Egone non intellego, quid sit don Graece, Latine voluptas? Vitiosum est enim in dividendo partem in genere numerare. Ad eas enim res ab Epicuro praecepta dantur. Istam voluptatem, inquit, Epicurus ignorat? Cum autem negant ea quicquam ad beatam vitam pertinere, rursus naturam relinquunt. Bork Sed quid minus probandum quam esse aliquem beatum nec satis beatum?

Indicant pueri, in quibus ut in speculis natura cernitur. Non pugnem cum homine, cur tantum habeat in natura boni; Quicquid porro animo cernimus, id omne oritur a sensibus;

Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Non dolere, inquam, istud quam vim habeat postea videro; Satis est tibi in te, satis in legibus, satis in mediocribus amicitiis praesidii. Refert tamen, quo modo. Similiter sensus, cum accessit ad naturam, tuetur illam quidem, sed etiam se tuetur; An nisi populari fama?
