It is only luxury and avarice that make poverty grievous to us; for it is a very small matter that does our business, and when we have provided against cold, hunger, and thirst, all the rest is but vanity and excess.
Seneca the YoungerRefrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the YoungerHe who does not want to die should not want to live. For life is tendered to us with the proviso of death. Life is the way to this destination.
Seneca the Younger
