Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
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
To rule yourself is the ultimate power
Seneca the Younger
He who begs timidly courts a refusal.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
