Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
You cease to be afraid when you cease to hope for hope is accompanied by fear.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.

Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
Seneca the Younger
