Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
Seneca the Younger
