More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution.
Seneca the Younger
Full of men, vacant of friends.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There is no genius free from some tincture of madness
Seneca the Younger
The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Seneca the Younger
