Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them.
Seneca the YoungerNo man finds it difficult to return to nature except the man who has deserted nature.
Seneca the YoungerHe shows a greater mind who does not restrain his laughter, than he who does not deny his tears.
Seneca the YoungerWe 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 Younger
