11.
Again, he who has been unable to love more than one, has had none too much love even for that one.
If a man who has lost his one and only tunic through robbery chooses to bewail his plight rather than look about him for some way to escape the cold, or for something with which to cover his shoulders, would you not think him an utter fool?
You have buried one whom you loved; look about for someone to love.
It is better to replace your friend than to weep for him.
