Hello.

Here's a professional translation
"There is nothing that will not surrender to persistent treatment, to
concentrated and careful attention"
Source: Lucius Annaeus Seneca. Moral Epistles. English translation by
Richard M. Gummere.
http://www.stoics.com/seneca_epistles_book_1.html#

search strategy: seneca, nihil est quod, moral epistles

I hope this help.

You also might take a look at the full Latin text at
thelatinlibrary.com:
http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/seneca.ep5.html

You can compare the entire Latin text to Gummere's English translation
mentioned above. Your quotation appears in pararaph L (or 50) of
Volume 1 of Seneca's Moral  Epistles.
