Cum dico me nihil voluptatis causa, de illo
loquor sapiente, cui soli concedis1 voluptatem. Non
voco autem sapientem, supra quem quicquam est,
nedum voluptas. Atqui ab hac occupatus quomodo
resistet labori et periculo, egestati et tot humanam
vitam circumstrepentibus minis ? Quomodo conspectum mortis, quomodo dolores feret, quomodo
mundi fragores et tantum acerrimorum hostium, a
tam molli2 adversario victus ? " Quicquid voluptas
suaserit faciet." Age, non vides quam multa suasura
sit ?
