Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the YoungerWe should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!
Seneca the YoungerA disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the YoungerThe greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution; who resists to sorest temptation from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menaces and frowns; whose reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God is most unfaltering.
Seneca the Younger
