“**21.** There is, I assure you, a place for virtue even upon a bed of sickness. It is not only the sword and the battle-line that prove the soul alert and unconquered by fear; a man can display bravery even when wrapped in his bed-clothes. You have something to do: wrestle bravely with disease.”

—Seneca, //Epistles// 78.21 (tr. [[/content/source-selections#gummere_1917|Gummere, 1917]])
