Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate.
Seneca the Younger
Its harder for people to seek retirement from themselves than from the law
Seneca the Younger
Crime oft recoils upon the author's head.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
