Illud utique unice tibi placet velut magnifice
dictum turpe esse beneficiis vinci. Quod an sit
verum, non immerito quaeri solet, longeque aliud est,
quam mente concipis. Numquam enim in rerum
honestarum certamine superari turpe est, dummodo
arma non proicias et victus quoque velis vincere.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
