Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.
Seneca the Younger
It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
