" "How can life be worth living, to use the words of Ennius, which lacks that repose which is to be found in the mutual good-will of a friend? What can be more delightful than to have some one to whom you can say everything with the same absolute confidence as to yourself?

Malus enim est custos diuturnitatis metus contraque benivolentia fidelis vel ad perpetuitatem.
