hoc illi satis
sit, tibi parum. Nam quemadmodum ille, si enixam
et sedulam operam transire pro irrita patitur, cui
gratia referatur, indignus est, ita tu ingratus es, nisi
ei, qui voluntatem bonam in solutum accipit, eo
libentius debes, quia dimittens. Non rapias hoc nec
testeris ; occasiones reddendi nihilo minus quaeras.
Redde illi, quia repetit, huic, quia remittit ; illi, quia
bonus est, huic, quia malus.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
