Not from Seneca
The trail leads not to ancient Rome but to the United States in 1912. A similar formulation was printed then without a named author in the magazine The Youth’s Companion; the current wording circulated anonymously during the 1920s. It was not until 1999 that the quotation began to be attributed to Seneca.
