" Quid tamen," inquit, " prohibet in unum virtutem voluptatemque confundi et ita effici summum
bonum, ut idem et honestum et iucundum sit ?"
Quia pars honesti non potest esse nisi honestum, nec
summum bonum habebit sinceritatem suam, si aliquid
in se viderit dissimile meliori.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 2. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1932.
