Seneca the Younger
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.

A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
