[6] Honesta," inquit, "res est laeta paupertas." Illa vero non est paupertas, si laeta est. Non qui parum habet, sed qui plus cupit, pauper est. Quid enim refert, quantum illi in arca, quantum in horreis iaceat, quantum pascat aut feneret, si alieno inminet, si non adquisita sed adquirenda computat ? Quis sit divitiarum modus, quaeris ? Primus habere quod necesse est, proximus quod sat est. VALE.
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales, volume 1-3. Seneca. Richard M. Gummere. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1917-1925.
