Unum est apud nos bonum, honestum. Id pervenire ad malum non potest ; desinet enim malus
esse, si ad illum virtus intraverit ; quam diu autem
malus est, nemo illi dare beneficium potest, quia mala
bonaque dissentiunt nec in unum eunt. Ideo nemo
illi prodest, quia, quidquid ad illum pervenit, id pravo
usu corrumpitur.
L. Annaeus Seneca. Moral Essays: volume 3. John W. Basore. London and New York. Heinemann. 1935.
