Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
The wish for healing has always been half of health.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon tomorrow and wastes today
Seneca the Younger
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not depend so much upon tomorrow's.
Seneca the Younger
We have been born under a monarchy to obey God is freedom.
Seneca the Younger
