Sed quamvis haec ita sint, accipere etiam malus
tamen quaedam potest, quae beneficiis similia sint,
quibus non redditis ingratus erit. Sunt animi bona,
sunt corporis, sunt fortunae. Illa animi bona a stulto
ac malo submoventur ; ad haec admittitur, quae et
accipere potest et debet reddere, et, si non reddit,
ingratus est. Nec hoc ex nostra tantum constitutione. Peripatetici quoque, qui felicitatis humanae
longe lateque terminos ponunt, aiunt minuta beneficia perventura ad malos ; haec qui non reddit, in-
gratus est.
