Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
We ought to take outdoor walks, to refresh and raise our spirits by deep breathing in the open air.

Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
