Image
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
Image
As was his language so was his life.
Seneca the Younger

It is not how many books thou hast, but how good careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
