But among the worst I count also those who have time for nothing but wine and lust; for none have more shameful engrossments. The others, even if they are possessed by the empty dream of glory, nevertheless go astray in a seemly manner; though you should cite to me the men who are avaricious, the men who are wrathful, whether busied with unjust hatred or with unjust wars, these all sin in more manly fashion.  But those who are plunged into the pleasures of the belly and into lust bear a stain that is dishonorable.
On the Shortness of Life
