Ista
autem sunt meritorum signa, non merita. Non
potest beneficium manu tangi ; res animo geritur.
Multum interest inter materiam beneficii et beneficium ; itaque nec aurum nec argentum nec quicquam eorum, quae pro maximis accipiuntur, beneficium est, sed ipsa tribuentis voluntas. Imperiti
autem id, quod oculis incurrit et quod traditur
possideturque, solum notant, cum contra illud, quod
in re carum atque pretiosum est, parvi pendunt.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
