I shall furnish you with a ready creditor, Cato’s famous one, who says:[266] "Borrow from yourself!" No matter how small it is, it will be enough if we can only make up the deficit from our own resources. For, my dear Lucilius, it does not matter whether you crave nothing, or whether you possess something. The important principle in either case is the same – freedom from worry.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca and Richard Mott Gummere, Moral letters to Lucilius Vol. 3, loc. 2372. Kindle Edition
