Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
Who needs forgiveness, should the same extend with readiness.
Seneca the Younger
