Seneca the Younger

There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.
Seneca the Younger
