THE RARITY OF FRIENDSHIP
             Pauci viri veros amicos habent, et pauci sunt digni. Amicitia vera est praeclara, et omnia praeclara sunt rara. Multi viri stulti de pecunia semper cogitant, pauci de amicis; sed errant: possumus valere sine multa pecunia, sed sine amicitia non valemus et vita est nihil.
             Few men have true friends, and few men are worthy. True friendship is splendid, and all splendid things are rare. Many foolish men always think about money, few about friend; but they err: we can be well without much money, but without friendship we are not well and life is nothing.
