Seneca the YoungerFortune's not content with knocking a man down; she sends him spinning head over heels, crash upon crash.
Seneca the YoungerThe things which we hold in our hands, which we see with our eyes, and which our avarice hugs, are transitory, they may be taken from us by ill luck or by violence; but a kindness lasts even after the loss of that by means of which it was bestowed; for it is a good deed, which no violence can undo.
