Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The profit on a good action is to have done it.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
