We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.

He who comes to a conclusion when the other side is unheard, may have been just in his conclusion, but yet has not been just in his conduct.
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
