Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

Seneca the Younger
