More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
