Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Seneca the Younger
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember ...] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
Life is short and art is long.
Seneca the Younger
