Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
