Seneca the Younger

It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.

Seneca the Younger

It is the sign of a great mind to dislike greatness, and to prefer things in measure to things in excess.

Seneca the Younger

Lack of desire is the greatest riches.

Seneca the Younger

Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.

Seneca the Younger

Let tears flow of their own accord; their flowing is not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony.

Seneca the Younger

Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.

Seneca the Younger

Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.

Seneca the Younger

Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.

Seneca the Younger

Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.

Seneca the Younger

Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.
