O philosophy, life's guide! O searcher-out of virtue and
expeller of vices! What could we and every age of men have been

scattered about into the social enjoyment of life.

expultrixque vitiorum! Quid non modo nos, sed omnino vita
hominum sine et esse potuisset? Tu urbes peperisti; tu
dissipatos homines in societatum vitae convocasti.]
