Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

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
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
He is most powerful who governs himself.
Seneca the Younger
