Seneca the Younger
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
Let the weary at length possess quiet rest.
Seneca the Younger
