Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time

Seneca the Younger
Image
Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.

Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It is expedient for the victor to wish for peace restored for the vanquished it is necessary.
Seneca the Younger
