    O philosophy, life's guide! O searcher-out of virtue and
    expeller of vices! What could we and every age of men have been
    without thee? Thou hast produced cities; thou hast called men
    scattered about into the social enjoyment of life.
    [Lat., O vitae philosophia dux! O virtutis indagatrix,
    expultrixque vitiorum! Quid non modo nos, sed omnino vita
    hominum sine et esse potuisset? Tu urbes peperisti; tu
    dissipatos homines in societatum vitae convocasti.]
