Seneca the Younger (Seneca) Quotes
It is a common thing to screw up justice to the pitch of an injury. A man may be over-righteous, and why not over-grateful, too?

Men who scorn the idea of submission to the divine Will and are outraged by the notion of a God who requires submission are among the first to demand total submission to the process in which we are involved and seem to attach a kind of moral imperative to willing participation in it.
