Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quote

Quote from Lucius Annaeus Seneca,

"My master Attalus used to say: "Evil herself drinks the largest portion of her own poison." The poison which serpents carry for the destruction of others, and secrete without harm to themselves, is not like this poison; for this sort is ruinous to the possessor."
