For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger

There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
