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
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
You roll my log, and I will roll yours.
