Image
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.
Seneca the Younger
Image
What view is one likely to take of the state of a person's mind when his speech is wild and incoherent and knows no constraint?
Seneca the Younger
Image
Human society is like an arch, kept from falling by the mutual pressure of its parts
