Pauci viri veros amicos habent, et pauci sunt digni. Amicitia vera est praeclara, et omnia praeclara sunt rara. Multi viri stulti de pecunia semper cogitant, pauci de amicis; sed errant: possumus valere sine multa pecunia, sed sine amicitia non valemus et vita est nihil.
Few men have true friends, and few are worthy. True friendship is splendid, and all things splendid are rare. Many foolish men think always about money, few about friends; but they err: we are able to be strong without much money, but without friendship we are not strong and life is nothing.
Cicero - De Amicitia 21.79-80
