Honestum propter nullam aliam causam quam propter ipsum sequimur ; tamen, etiam si nihil aliud sequendum est, quaerimus, quid faciamus et quando et quemadmodum ; per haec enim constat. Itaque, cum eligo, cui dem beneficium, id ago, ut quandoque beneficium sit, quia, si turpi datur, nec honestum esse potest nec beneficium.
