I've seen this quote before, but I haven't been able to find it myself. Which text is it from?

Here's one from a letter to Lucilius. Seneca is easy to misquote.

"Indeed, no man can be good without the help of God. Can one rise superior to fortune unless God helps him to rise? He it is that gives noble and upright counsel." - Seneca

Interesting! A lot of people on wikiquote[1] appear to believe it's a misattribution. I've only ever heard it secondhand.
