Seneca the Younger
You roll my log, and I will roll yours.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
Seneca the Younger
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
Seneca the Younger
The gladiator is formulating his plan in the arena or essentially Too late.
Seneca the Younger
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
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
The best way to do good to ourselves is to do it to others the right way to gather is to scatter.
Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger
