[2] " Uri, vinciri ferroque necari." Ab illis, qui manus harenae locant et edunt ac bibunt, quae per sanguinem reddant, cavetur, ut ista vel inviti patiantur; a te, ut volens libensque patiaris. Illis licet arma summittere, misericordiam populi temptare; tu neque summittes nec vitam rogabis. Recto tibi invictoque moriendum est. Quid porro prodest paucos dies aut annos lucrificare ? Sine missione nascimur.
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales, volume 1-3. Seneca. Richard M. Gummere. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1917-1925.
