Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the YoungerThe greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the YoungerIt is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
