Title	Nec sine virtute amicitia esse potest
Text Submitted by deean04	Source language: Latyn Est enim amicitia nihil aliud nisi omnium divinarum humanarumque rerum cum benevolentia et caritate consensio; qua quidem haud scio an, excepta sapientia,nihil melius homini sit a dis immortalibus datum. Divitias alii praeponunt, bonam alii valetudinem, alii potentiam, alii honores, multi etiam voluptates. Qui autem in virtute summum bonum ponunt, praeclare illi quidem,sed haec ipsa virtus amicitiam et gignit et continet nec sine virtute amicitia esse ullo pacto potest.

Title

Friendship

Translation

Engels

Translated by

Angelus

Target language: Engels

Therefore friendship is nothing other than perfect agreement on all divine and human things, joined to kindliness and affection; and I ask myself if the excepted wisdom is not the best that has ever been given to man by the immortal gods. Some prefer riches, some good health, some power, some honor, many prefer even pleasures.
Those who place the greatest good in virtue make an admirable decision, as this very virtue creates and preserves friendship and friendship cannot by any means exist without virtue.
