Additional quotes by Seneca

Would you know what makes men greedy for the future? It is because no one has yet found himself.

Once again prosperous and successful crime goes by the name of virtue; good men obey the bad, might is right and fear oppresses law.

True happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied.
