That evening saw a new bond of alliance between these two persons, young, handsome, and of opposite sexes, they agreed to be friends, and nothing more. Fools! "Idem velle, et idem nolle, ea demum firma amicitia est."* SALLUST. *To will the same thing and not to will the same thing, that at length is firm friendship. "Carlos. That letter. Princess Eboli. Oh, I shall die. Return it instantly."
They will generally have to give it up as hopeless, and renounce the attempt to have, in the intimate associate of their daily life, that idem velle, idem nolle, which is the recognised bond of any society that is really such: or if the man succeeds in obtaining it, he does so by choosing a woman who is so complete a nullity that she has no velle or nolle at all, and is as ready to comply with one thing as another if anybody tells her to do so.
Thirdly, and principally, all these exclusives abhorred the two sitting members, and "idem nolle idem velle de republica, ea firma amicitia est;" that is, congeniality in politics pieces porcelain and crockery together better than the best diamond cement.

Ita fit ut illud breve vitae reliquum nec avide appetendum senibus nec sine causa deserendum sit; vetatque Pythagoras iniussu imperatoris, id est dei, de praesidio et statione vitae decedere. 73 Solonis quidem sapientis est elogium, quo se negat velle suam mortem dolore amicorum et lamentis vacare. Volt, credo, se esse carum suis.
he discerns 'tis nothing but counterfeit and gullery. "Ut satius multo jam sit parere quietum, Quam regere imperio res velle."
