Seneca the Younger
Death is sometimes a punishment, often a gift to many it has been a favor.
Seneca the Younger
The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.
Seneca the Younger
