Qui vero
virtutis voluptatisque societatem facit et ne ex aequo
quidem, fragilitate alterius boni quicquid in altero
vigoris est hebetat libertatemque illam, ita demum,
si nihil se pretiosius novit, invictam, sub iugum mittit.
Nam, quae maxima servitus est, incipit illi opus esse
fortuna; sequitur vita anxia, suspiciosa, trepida,
casum pavens, temporum suspensa momentis.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 2. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1932.
