Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger

The profit on a good action is to have done it.
Seneca the Younger

He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Time discovers truth.
Seneca the Younger
Image
This body is not a home, but an inn and that only for a short time.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Seneca the Younger
Image
There's no delight in owning anything unshared.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Demand not that I am the equal of the greatest, only that I am better than the wicked.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
