Seneca the Younger
Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.

Seneca the Younger

Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger
Trifling trouble find utterance deeply felt pangs are silent.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
