Interim, quod inter omnis Stoicos convenit, rerum
naturae adsentior ; ab illa non deerrare et ad illius
legem exemplumque formari sapientia est.
Beata est ergo vita conveniens naturae suae, quae
non aliter contingere potest, quam si primum sana
mens est et in perpetua possessione sanitatis suae ;
deinde fortis ac vehemens, tunc pulcherrime patiens,
apta temporibus, corporis sui pertinentiumque ad id
curiosa non anxie, tum aliarum rerum quae vitam
instruunt diligens sine admiratione cuiusquam, usura
fortunae muneribus, non servitura.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 2. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1932.
