塞内卡：塞内卡道德书简·摘录 29
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 历史 · 认知 · 决策
The piety and moderation of Scipio have made his memory more venerable than his arms; and more yet after he left his country than while he defended it: for matters were come to that pass, that either Scipio must be injurious to Rome or Rome to Scipio. Coarse bread and water to a temperate man is as good as a feast; and the very herbs of the field yield a nourishment to man as well as to beasts. It was not by choice meats and perfumes that our forefathers recommended themselves, but in virtuous actions, and the sweat of honest, military, and of manly labors.

白话
西庇阿的虔诚与节制，比他的武功更令人尊敬；而他离开祖国后，比保卫祖国时更受尊崇。因为事情发展到要么西庇阿伤害罗马，要么罗马伤害西庇阿的地步。对节制的人来说，粗面包和水胜过盛宴；田野的野菜既能养牲畜，也能养人。我们的祖先不是靠珍馐和香水赢得声誉，而是靠德行、诚实的军事劳动和男子汉的汗水。所以，真正让人高贵的是品格和行动，不是享乐和排场。
上下文
西庇阿是古罗马名将，晚年因政敌攻击而离开罗马；塞涅卡借他说明德行高于武功。
