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
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
As was his language so was his life.
Seneca the Younger
I have withdrawn not only from men, but from affairs, especially my own affairs I am working for later generations, writing down some ideas that may be of assistance to them.
Seneca the Younger
