Additional quotes by Seneca

Very often the things that cost nothing cost us the most heavily; I can show you many objects the quest and acquisition of which have wrested freedom from our hands.

So near at hand is freedom, and is anyone still a slave?

Not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit to behaving just as she pleases.

Quemadmodum perniciosior est hostis fugientibus, sic omne fortuitum incommodum magis instat cedenti et averso. - Seneca
