The passage in Cicero does not agree with the dictum quoted by Bacon, which seems to be a reference to the Odyssey, v. 136. 208-10.
P. 62. "Claudus in vià antevertit cursorem extra viam."
The same proverb is quoted in Nov. Org., i. 61.
P. 85. "Omnia mutantur, nil interit"—
from Ovid, Met., xv. 165.
Several passages are cited by Bacon from Seneca, which the editor does not trace. Thus, in p. 146., it is said,—
"Nocet illis eloquentia, quibus non rerum cupiditatem facit, sed sui."
Page 147.,—
"Vere magnum habere fragilitatem hominis, securitatem Dei."
The same passage is also quoted by Bacon in Essay V., "On Adversity," and in the treatise De Sap. Vet., vol. x. p. 343., edit. Montagu.
