What is a happy (beata) life? Peacefulness and constant tranquillity. Loftiness of mind will bestow this, and consistency which holds fast to good judgement. How are these things reached? If all of truth has been seen, if orderliness, moderation, and seemliness are preserved in action, and [there is] a will which is guiltless and kindly, focussed upon reason and never departing from it, as lovable as it is admirable. To put it in a nutshell for you, the wise man’s mind should be as befits god.
