Dicet aliquis : " Quid tanto opere quaeris, cui dederis beneficium, tamquam repetiturus aliquando ?
Sunt, qui numquam iudicent esse repetendum, et has
causas adferunt. Indignus etiam repetenti non
reddet, dignus ipse per se referet. Praeterea, si bono
viro dedisti, expecta, ne iniuriam illi facias appellando,
tamquam sua sponte redditurus non fuisset. Si malo
viro dedisti, plectere ; beneficium vero ne corruperis
creditum faciendo. Praeterea lex, quod non iussit
repeti, vetuit."
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
