Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius free from some tincture of madness
Seneca the Younger
The best ideas are common property.
Seneca the Younger
Human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind possesses a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
