There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.
Seneca the YoungerThe pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the YoungerIf ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
