From Seneca's "De Providentia"


From Seneca's De Providentia:


“I shall reconcile you to the gods, who are ever best to those who are best. For Nature never permits good to be injured by good; between good men and the gods there exists a friendship brought about by virtue.” – Seneca, De Providentia, I. 5
“In gratiam te reducam cum diis adversus optimos optimis. Neque enim rerum natura patitur ut umquam bona bonis noceant; inter bonos viros ac deos amicitia est conciliante virtute.”

a.d. VI Idus Iunias anno A.U.C. MMDCCLXV (Cn. Caesare C. Tullio consulibus)
