Lucius Annaeus Seneca
 Malice drinks one half of its own poison. |
| Man at his birth is content with a little milk and a piece of flannel: so we begin, that presently find kingdoms not enough for us |
| Many a man has found the acquisition of wealth only a change, not an end of miseries |
| Many have gone through life merely accumulating the instruments of life. Consider individuals, survey men in general: there is none whose life does not look forward to the morrow. 'What harm is there in this?' you ask. Infinite harm; for such persons do not live, but are preparing to live. They postpone everything. |
| Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them. |
| March to the battlefield, The foe is now before us; Each heart is Freedom's shield, And heaven is shining o'er us. |
| May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense. |
| Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own |
| Modesty forbids what the law does not. |
| Modesty once extinguished knows not how to return |
| Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die. |
| Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted |
| Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. |
| Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. |
| My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach |
