Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
