Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)

So called pleasures, when they go beyond a certain limit, are but punishments.

A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.

The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity.

He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.

But when you are looking on anyone as a friend when you do not trust him as you trust yourself, you are making a grave mistake, and have failed to grasp sufficiently the full force of true friendship.

I do not distinguish by the eye, but by the mind, which is the proper judge of the man.
