If you live according to nature, you never will be poor; if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.
Seneca the YoungerNo man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.
Seneca the YoungerLet not the enjoyment of pleasures now within your grasp, be carried to such excess as to incapacitate you from future repetition.
Seneca the Younger
