Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
The miserable are sacred.
Seneca the Younger
When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
