Libentius
donabo argentum factum quam signatum ; libentius
statuas quam vestem et quod usus brevis deterat.
Apud paucos post rem manet gratia ; plures sunt,
apud quos non diutius in animo sunt donata, quam
in usu. Ego, si fieri potest, consumi munus meum
nolo ; extet, haereat amico meo, convivat.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
