[15] In omnes personas hic exardescit affectus; tam ex amore [p. 124] nascitur quam ex odio, non minus inter seria quam inter lusus et iocos. Nec interest, ex quam magna causa nascatur, sed in qualem perveniat animum. Sic ignis non refert quam magnus, sed quo incidat. Nam etiam maximum solida non receperunt; rursus arida et corripi facilia scintillam quoque fovent usque in incendium. Ita est, mi Lucili, ingentis irae exitus furor est, et ideo ira vitanda est non moderationis causa, sed sanitatis. VALE.
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales, volume 1-3. Seneca. Richard M. Gummere. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1917-1925.
