Those who say, there is never any excess in virtue, forasmuch as it is not virtue when it once becomes excess, only play upon words: "Insani sapiens nomen ferat, aequus iniqui, Ultra quam satis est, virtutem si petat ipsam." This is a subtle consideration of philosophy. A man may both be too much in love with virtue, and be excessive in a just action.
Ep. 1, 6, 15: Insani sapiens nomen ferat, aequus iniqui, ultra quam satis est virtutem si petat ipsam. V. Castrorum. This word is used to express whatever pertains to military life, education, &c., as the context may require. Every Roman youth who aspired to civil office, must have a military education.
