Otiosi divitiis Inditis nec providetis
illarum periculum, sicut barbari plerumque inclusi,
ut ignari machinarum, segnes laborem obsidentium
spectant nec quo illa pertineant, quae ex longinquo
struuntur, intellegunt. Idem vobis evenit; marcetis in vestris rebus nec cogitatis, quot casus undique immineant iam iamque pretiosa spolia laturi.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 2. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1932.
