More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
