Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.
Seneca the Younger
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger
