Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger
