Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca the Younger
