Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
Seneca the Younger
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Seneca the Younger
The fortune of war is always doubtful.
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.

He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
