Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
Success consecrates the most offensive crimes.
Seneca the Younger
There's no delight in owning anything unshared.
Seneca the Younger
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
