There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.
Seneca the YoungerEveryone rushes his life on, and suffers from a yearning for the future and a boredom with the present. But that man who devotes every hour to his own needs, who plans every day as if it were his last, neither longs for nor fears tomorrow.
Seneca the YoungerWe often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
