Seneca the Younger
Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
You talk one way, you live another.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
Find a path or make one.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
