He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents.

Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Seneca the Younger
Image
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves

Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
