Si arbitrium dandi penes nos est, praecipue
mansura quaeremus, ut quam minime mortale munus
sit. Pauci enim sunt tam grati, ut, quid acceperint,
etiam si non vident, cogitent. Ingratos quoque
memoria cum ipso munere incurrit, ubi ante oculos
est et oblivisci sui non sinit, sed auctorem suum
ingerit et inculcat. Eo quidem magis duratura
quaeramus, quia numquam admonere debemus ; ipsa
res evanescentem memoriam excitet.
