Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
Every journey has an end.
Seneca the Younger
Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.
Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
Demand not that I am the equal of the greatest, only that I am better than the wicked.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Seneca the Younger
