These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
Seneca the YoungerThere is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
Seneca the YoungerAs the mother's womb holds us for ten months, making us ready, not for the womb itself, but for life, just so, through our lives, we are making ourselves ready for another birth...Therefore look forward without fear to that appointed hour- the last hour of the body, but not of the soul...That day, which you fear as being the end of all things, is the birthday of your eternity.
Seneca the Younger
