Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues.

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.

It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
