372 ”Caritas generis humani.”-_De Finib._ So, too, he speaks (_De Leg._ i. 23) of every good man as ”civis totius mundi.”

385 ”Haec duri immota Catonis Secta fuit, servare modum, finemque tenere, Naturamque sequi, patriaeque impendere vitam, Nec sibi sed toti genitum se credere mundo.”

Lucan, _Phars._ ii. 380-383.

386 There is a pa.s.sage on this subject in one of the letters of Pliny, which I think extremely remarkable, and to which I can recall no pagan parallel:-”Nuper me cujusdam amici languor admonuit, optimos esse nos dum infirmi sumus. Quem enim infirmum aut avaritia aut libido solicitat? Non amoribus servit, non appet.i.t honores ... tunc deos, tunc hominem esse se meminit.”-Plin. _Ep._ vii. 26.

_ 387 Ep._ viii. 16. He says: ”Hominis est enim affici dolore, sentire, resistere tamen, et solatia admittere, non solatiis non egere.”

388 This characteristic of Stoicism is well noticed in Grant's _Aristotle_, vol. i. p. 254. The first volume of this work contains an extremely good review of the principles of the Stoics.
