Seneca the Younger

“Where there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” — Seneca Even the strongest minds need support sometimes. Be there. Listen. Reach out. @samaritans

"Limiting one’s desires actually helps to cure one of fear. ‘Cease to hope … and you will cease to fear.’ … Widely different [as fear and hope] are, the two of them march in unison like a prisoner and the escort he is handcuffed to."

"What really ruins our character is the fact that none of us looks back over his life."

“Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.”

"No man was ever wise by chance."

"We should every night call ourselves to an account; What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abort of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift."

“Regard [a friend] as loyal, and you will make him loyal.”

"Non est ad astra mollis e terris via" - "There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.”
