Sed Amore (But by Love) (SA)

Hominibus apprime utile est,
consuetudines jungere,
seseque iis vincullis astringere,
quibus aptius de se omnibus unum efficiant;
et absolute ea agree,
quae firmandis amicitiis inserviunt.
Animi tamen non armis,
sed Amore et Generositate vincuntur.

Translation:
Above all, it is useful for people
to establish relationships,
to bind themselves by those bonds,
which are most apt to unite them as one;
and without exception,
to do those things which serve to strengthen friendship.
Hearts, therefore, are won not by arms,
but by love and greatness of soul.

– Benedict de Spinoza (1632-1677)
