Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with.

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

Seneca the Younger
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
