Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with.

We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes.-
Seneca the Younger
There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.
