no kicking or biting…says Seneca

no kicking or biting…says Seneca

don’t bite back…

 

 

“How much better it is to take the opposite course

   and not to match fault with fault.

     Would any one think that he was well balanced

        if he repaid a mule with kicks

          and a dog with biting?”

 

Seneca (4 BC-65 CE), On Anger (De Ira), 3.27.2
