Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.

Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
The articulate, trained voice is more distracting than mere noise.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
You find in some a sort of graceless modesty, that makes them ashamed to requite an obligation.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
