Additional quotes by Seneca

Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.

Marcet sine adversario virtus.

To bear misfortunes with a tranquil mind
robs hardship of its strength and weight.
