Excerpt: ... to the attractions of pleasure, he hides the fact, however much he may be caught in its toils, and for very shame conceals his appetite. 106 From this we see that sensual pleasure is quite unworthy of the dignity of man and that we ought to despise it and cast it from us; but if some one should be found who sets some value upon sensual gratification, he must keep strictly within the limits of moderate indulgence. One's physical comforts and wants, therefore, should be ordered according to the demands of health and strength, not accord- ing to the calls of pleasure. And if we will only bear in mind the superiority and dignity of our nature, we shall realize how wrong it is to abandon ourselves to excess and to live in luxury and voluptu- ousness, and how right it is to live in thrift, self- denial, simplicity, and sobriety. 107 We must realize also that we are invested by The universal Nature with two characters, as it were: one of these vlduaJnature of is universal, arising from the fact of our being all man. alike endowed with reason and with that superiority which lifts us above the brute. From this all morality and propriety are derived, and upon it depends the rational method of ascertaining our duty. The other character is the one that is individual assigned to individuals in particular. In the matter endowments> of physical endowment there are great differences: some, we see, excel in speed for the race, others in strength for wrestling; so in point of personal ap- pearance, some have stateliness, others comeliness. . 108 Diversities of character are greater still. Lucius Crassus and Lucius Philippus had a large fund of witj Gaius Caesar, Lucius's son, had a still richer fund and employed it with more studied purpose.
