<< Imperfecta necesse est labent et modo prodeant, modo sublabantur aut succidant. Sublabentur autem, nisi ire et niti perseveraverint; si quicquam ex studio et fideli intentione laxaverint, retro eundum est. Nemo profectum ibi invenit ubi reliquerat. Instemus itaque et perseveremus magna pars est profectus, velle proficere." SENECA, Epistol. Moral. 71.
