He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the YoungerReason wishes that the judgement it gives be just; anger wishes that the judgement it has given seem to be just.
Seneca the YoungerOnly a great man, believe me, and one whose excellence rises far above human failings, will not allow anything to be stolen from his own span of time, and his life is very long precisely because he has devoted to himself entirely any time that became available. None of it lay uncultivated and idle, none was under another man's control, for guarding it most jealously, he found nothing worth exchanging for his own precious time.
