Quotes of Seneca
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
All cruelty springs from weakness.
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.
The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms -- you’ll be able to use them better when you’re older.
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
