Seneca the Younger

Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.

While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
Image
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger

He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Gold is tried by fire, brave men by adversity.
Seneca the Younger
