Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with.

We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
You cease to be afraid when you cease to hope for hope is accompanied by fear.
Seneca the Younger
