Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
To the stars through difficulties.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
