Seneca the Younger
If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
Prudence and love cannot be mixed you can end love, but never moderate it.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts are like seeds they are little things which do much good if the mind which receives them has a disposition, it must not be doubted that his part contributes to the generation, and adds much to that which has been collected.
Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
If wisdom were offered me with this restriction, that I should keep it close and not communicate it, I would refuse the gift.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.
Seneca the Younger
He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
