Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.

The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.

Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The highest duty and the highest proof of wisdom - that deed and word should be in accord.
Seneca the Younger
Let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the Younger
Leisure without study is death, and the grave of a living man.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
Every journey has an end.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
