In prioribus libris videbar consummasse propositum, cum tractassem, quemadmodum dandum esset
beneficium, quemadmodum accipiendum ; hi enim
sunt huius officii fines. Quidquid ultra moror, non
servio materiae, sed indulgeo, quae, quo ducit,
sequenda est, non quo invitat ; subinde enim nascetur, quo lacessat aliqua dulcedine animum, magis
non supervacuum quam necessarium.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
