Ritratto di due amici (Jacopo Pontormo, 1524)
... Amicitia plurimas res continet quoquo te verteris praesto est nullo loco excluditur Numquam intem pestiva numquam molesta est Intaque non aqua non igni ut aiunt pluribus locis utimur Quam Amicitia. (Cicero, De amicitia, 44 BCE)
"Est enim amicitia nihil aliud nisi omnium divinarum humanarumque rerum cum benevolentia et caritate consensio; qua quidem haud scio an excepta sapientia nihil melius homini sit a dis inmortalibus datum."
Friendship is merely an agreement on all things, human and divine, together with mutual goodwill and affection; with the possible exception of wisdom, I can hardly imagine a greater gift from the immortal gods to man.
