Lucius Annaeus Seneca
 Human society is like an arch, kept from falling by the mutual pressure of its parts |
| I am like a book, with pages that have stuck together for want of use: my mind needs unpacking and the truths stored within must be turned over from time to time, to be ready when occasion demands |
| I can lay down for mankind a rule in concise form for our duties in human relationships: all that you behold, that which comprises both god and man, is one - we are the parts of one great body. |
| I don't consider myself bald, I'm just taller than my hair. |
| I don't trust liberals, I trust conservatives |
| I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene. |
| I persist on praising not the life I lead, but that which I ought to lead. I follow it at a mighty distance, crawling |
| I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good |
| I think people realize it's an isolated deal. |
| I think to myself how many exercise their bodies, how few their minds |
| I truly enjoy no more of the world's good things than what I willingly distribute to the needy |
| I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open? |
| I've been mixing with humanity today and feel the less humane in consequence |
| If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him |
| If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind. |
