Seneca the Younger
Our posterity will wonder about our ignorance of things so plain.
Seneca the Younger
There's no delight in owning anything unshared.

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
As long as you live, learn how to live.
Seneca the Younger
