Lucius Annaeus Seneca
 There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality. |
| There are more things, Lucilius, that frighten us than injure us, and we suffer more in imagination than in reality |
| There are no greater wretches in the world than many of those whom people in general take to be happy |
| There are none more abusive to others than they that lie most open to it themselves; but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow |
| There is a noble manner of being poor and who does not know it will never be rich. |
| There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn as in doing it. |
| There is no delight in owning anything unshared. |
| There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer. |
| There is no genius free from some tincture of madness |
| There is no great genius without some touch of madness. |
| There is no person so severely punished, as those who subject themselves to the whip of their own remorse. |
| There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals. |
| There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage. |
| There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world. |
| There is nothing so bitter that a patient mind cannot find some solace for it |
