When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the YoungerSuch as the chain of causes we call Fate, such is the chain of wishes: one links on to another; the whole man is bound in the chain of wishing for ever.
Seneca the YoungerBehold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
