Lucius Annaeus Seneca

It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.

That which is given with pride and ostentation is rather an ambition than a bounty.

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven; the good fortune of the bad bows their heads down to the earth.

May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.

Light troubles speak; the weighty are struck dumb.

Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes.

The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
