Cicero,
On Friendship 7.23 (tr. William Armistead Falconer):
Wherefore friends, though absent, are at hand; though in need, yet abound; though weak, are strong; and—harder saying still—though dead, are yet alive; so great is the esteem on the part of their friends, the tender recollection and the deep longing that still attends them.
quocirca et absentes adsunt et egentes abundant et
imbecilli valent et, quod difficilius dictu est, mortui vivunt; tantus eos
honos, memoria, desiderium prosequitur amicorum.
James S. Reid ad loc.:
