Seneca the Younger
He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
To rule yourself is the ultimate power
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.

Seneca the Younger
It is the characteristic of a weak and diseased mind to fear the unfamiliar.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca the Younger
It is dishonorable to say one thing and think another how much more dishonorable to write one thing and think another.
Seneca the Younger
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
