Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.

Seneca the Younger
Those who pass their lives in foreign travel find they contract many ties of hospitality, but form no friendships.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
