Okay, so as listed in the link you provided was a site that lists all of his works. First of all, I will state that just from skimming most of his works in relation to religion, it is easy to understand why Seneca is widely accepted as having authored that quote despite there being no documented source to prove it. His writing greatly alludes to his authorship to that quote.
This site was actually listed in your Wikiquote link. If one is going to regard true sources, anything Wiki related is not considered an acceptable source by colleges. And for good reason. Also, I highly doubt any respectable author or journalist would dare to source Wiki.
However, even that Wiki page you linked did have this to state:
It's difficult to "prove a negative" and declare with certainty that Seneca never wrote these words.
