“Nōn est, mī Lūcīlī, quod amīcum tantum in forō et in cūriā quaerās: sī dīligenter attenderis, et domī inveniēs.”

It’s not, my Lucilius, that you should seek a friend only in the forum and in the senate-house: if you pay attention diligently, you will also find [one] at home. (Translating the future perfect “attenderis” as present with future sense. An ancient Roman household might include relations, slaves, and freedmen; here Seneca refers to the possibility of a master befriending a slave.)
