I: The life which is implicated with fortune (depends on fortune) is like a winter torrent: for it is turbulent, and full of mud, and difficult to cross, and tyrannical, and noisy, and of short duration.
II: A soul which is conversant with virtue is like an ever flowing source, for it is pure and tranquil and potable and sweet [43] and communicative (social), and rich and harmless and free from mischief.
