Additional quotes by Seneca

Nothing happens to a wise man contrary to his expectations…his first thought has been that something might obstruct his plans.

It is not to your benefit to see and hear everything. Many injuries ought to pass over us; if you ignore them, you get no more injury from them. You want to be less angry? Ask fewer questions.

Whatever mishap can befall any man can also happen to you.
