Sed longius nos impetus evehit provocante
materia ; itaque sic finiamus, ne in nostro saeculo
culpa subsidat. Hoc maiores nostri questi sunt, hoc
nos querimur, hoc posteri nostri querentur, eversos
mores, regnare nequitiam, in deterius res humanas
et omne nefas labi. At ista eodem stant loco
stabuntque, paulum dumtaxat ultra aut citra mota,
ut fluctus, quos aestus accedens longius extulit,
recedens interiore litorum vestigio tenuit.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
