Apologies for the lateness, folks.
"Pauci viri veros amicos habent, et pauci sunt digni. Amicitia vera est praeclara et omnia praeclara sunt rara..."
Now, by "worthy of friendship" I mean those who have in themselves the qualities which attract affection. This sort of man is rare; and indeed all excellent things are rare; and nothing in the world is so hard to find as a thing entirely and completely perfect of its kind. *
- Cicero, 'De Amicitia'
*NB translation approximate; prompter is in her second week of Latin and as such relies on better sources
All comments welcome!
