Errat, si quis existimat facilem rem esse
donare ; plurimum ista res habet difficultatis, si modo
consilio tribuitur, non casu et impetu spargitur.
Hunc promereor, illi reddo ; huic succurro, huius
misereor ; illum instruo dignum quem non deducat
paupertas nec occupatum teneat ; quibusdam non
dabo, quamvis desit, quia, etiam si dedero, erit de-
futurum ; quibusdam offeram, quibusdam etiam
inculcabo. Non possum in hac re esse neglegens ;
numquam magis nomina facio quam cum dono.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 2. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1932.
