“Ahora, pues, mientras la sangre está caliente, los vigorosos han de caminar a lo mejor. En este género de vida te espera mucha parte de las buenas ciencias, el amor y ejercicio de la virtud, el olvido de los deleites, el arte de vivir y morir y, finalmente, un soberano descanso. El estado de todos los ocupados es miserable; pero el de aquéllos que aun no son suyas las ocupaciones en que trabajan es miserabilísimo; duermen por sueño ajeno, andan con ajenos pasos, comen con ajena gana; hasta el amar y aborrecer, que son acciones tan libres, lo hacen mandados.”
