Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
Seneca the YoungerOf all the felicities, the most charming is that of a firm and gentle friendship. It sweetens all our cares, dispels our sorrows, and counsels us in all extremities. Nay, if there were no other comfort in it than the pare exercise of so generous a virtue, even for that single reason a man would not be without it; it is a sovereign antidote against all calamities - even against the fear of death itself.
Seneca the YoungerThere is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.
