When one has lost a friend one's eyes should be neither dry nor streaming. Tears, yes, there should be, but not lamentation.
Seneca the YoungerWe should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the YoungerIt is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult
Seneca the Younger
