Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
Image

Seneca the Younger
Image
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger

The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Image
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
Image
He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
Seneca the Younger
Image
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
Image
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
