If by nature the mind desires certain things, we should acquire them. And certainly, in acquiring them, the soul would at some time be fulfilled by them, either wholly or in greatest part. But the more we acquire mortal things from all sides, by so much the more is the appetite of the soul inflamed. Life for us should straightway be turned tight round in the opposite direction. Neither will prosperous fortune ensnare us, nor adverse fortune slay us.
Nothing is more freely chosen than the good.
