Seneca the Younger
The anger of those in authority is always weighty.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
