saturitās
saturitās f (genitive saturitātis)
Meaning
- fullness, repletion, satiety
- abundance
Mea quidem sententia haud sciō an nūlla beātior possit esse, neque sōlum officiō, quod hominum generī ūniversō cultūrā agrōrum est salūtāris, sed et dēlectātiōne, quam dīxī, et saturitāte cōpiāque rērum omnium, quae ad vīctum hominum, ad cultum etiam deōrum pertinent, ut, quoniam haec quidem dēsīderant, in grātiam iam cum voluptāte redeāmus.
In my own opinion, I am inclined to think that no life can be happier — not only because of the service it renders, given that the cultivation of the soil is a boon to the entire human race, but also because of the sheer delight I have mentioned, and the overflowing abundance of all things necessary for the sustenance of man and even the worship of the gods. Thus, since it is these very things that men crave, we may now find ourselves back on good terms even with the concept of pleasure.106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Cato Maior de Senectute 16.56
