Seneca the Younger
You roll my log, and I will roll yours.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy alone makes the mind invincible, and places us out of the reach of fortune, so that all her arrows fall short of us.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
