Nature does not reveal all her secrets at once. We imagine we are initiated in her mysteries: we are, as yet, but hanging around her outer courts.
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 YoungerNothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
