We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the YoungerThere has not been any great talent without an element of madness. -Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit
Seneca the YoungerWe are at best but stewards of what we falsely call our own; yet avarice is so insatiable that it is not in the power of liberality to content it.
Seneca the YoungerYou must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
