Rusticus: who gave me the impression that my character required improvement and discipline
not to show off wealth, discipline, or acts of benevolenceTo write with simplicity
To read with carefulness and not with superfluity
Antonius: learned freedom of will
understand the steadiness of people
To reason always
To have an evenness of mind - in pain and pleasure
and that the same man can be - most resolute and most yielding
Sextus: To tolerate ignorant persons - who formed opinions without consideration
To have principles of life in an ordered way
Alexander the Grammarian:
refrain from fault-finding
Fronto : Learnt to observe envy, duplicity, and hypocrisy in a Tyrant
Alexander the platonic :
Not without necessity - say anyone - that i have no leisure
Nor to the neglect of duties required by our relations - citing the urgency of business!
