Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger
The chief bond of the soldier is his oath of allegiance and love for the flag.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
Seneca the Younger
