Inborn Traits

Seneca, Letters to Lucilius 11.6 (tr. Richard M. Gummere):
Whatever is assigned to us by the terms of our birth and the blend in our constitutions, will stick with us, no matter how hard or how long the soul may have tried to master itself.

quaecumque adtribuit condicio nascendi et corporis temperatura, cum multum se diuque animus conposuerit, haerebunt.
