Lucius Annaeus Seneca
 Success consecrates the most offensive crimes. |
| Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody. |
| Successful and fortunate crime is called virtue. |
| Suppose a man has a retinue of comely slaves and a beautiful house, that his farm is large and large his income; none of these things is in the man himself; they are all on the outside. Praise the quality in him which cannot be given or snatched away, that which is the peculiar property of the man. |
| That grief is light which can take counsel. |
| That which is given with pride and ostentation is rather an ambition than a bounty |
| That which is never too often repeated, is never sufficiently learned. |
| The acquisition of riches has been to many not an end to their miseries, but a change in them: The fault is not in the riches, but the disposition. |
| The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave. |
| The articulate voice is more distracting than mere noise |
| The artist finds a greater pleasure in painting than in having completed the picture |
| The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven; the good fortune of the bad bows their heads down to the earth. |
| The belly will not listen to advice |
| The best ideas are common property. |
| The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity. |
