Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence. -Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
Dissembling profiteth nothing a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
Seneca the Younger
Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.
Seneca the Younger
