16. cetera parare quae parantur pecunia sed amicos non parare,
17. optimam et pulcherrimam quasi supelectilem vitae?

That's what "stultius" translates to. Either that or "more foolish".

I have a feeling you shouldn't be posting your final exam on the internet.

It's not like I'm asking for help. You just wanted the translation so I gave it.

That wasn't the point. You're making your final exam (with answers) readily available for anyone to stumble upon who has internet access. I'm pretty sure that's grounds for being expelled.

You should realize that all of Cicero's works have been translated and the text can be found on the internet. I'm sure if anyone wanted to cheat they wouldn't go by a student's translation posted on a forum.
However, just in case, I'll pull the translation.
