" Sed tu quoque," inquit, " virtutem non ob
aliud colis, quam quia aliquam ex illa speras voluptatem." Primum non, si voluptatem praestatura
virtus est, ideo propter hanc petitur ; non enim hanc
praestat, sed et hanc, nec huic laborat, sed labor eius,
quamvis aliud petat, hoc quoque adsequetur.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 2. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1932.
