As quoted from "Private Sector" by Brian Haig (p436). Which is a good [fiction] novel about the continuing adventures of an Army JAG, Sean Drummond. Haig has about six books published with Drummond as the main protagonist. I've read - and liked - them all.

BTW, that's from Seneca the Younger's Epistle 22, line 17.
