Lucius Annaeus Seneca
 Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. |
| Old age is an incurable disease |
| On him does death lie heavily who, but too well known to all, dies to himself |
| One crime has to be concealed by another. |
| One should count each day a separate life. |
| Other men's sins are before our eyes; our own are behind our backs |
| Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough. |
| Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind. |
| Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee! |
| People do not care how nobly they live, only how long, despite the fact that it is within everyone's reach to live nobly, but within no one's reach to live long |
| Philosophy did not find Plato already a nobleman! it made him one |
| Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one. |
| Precepts or maxims are of great weight; and a few useful ones on hand do more to produce a happy life than the volumes we can't find. |
| Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. |
| Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged. |
