Additional quotes by Seneca

Meanwhile, hold fast to this thought, and grip it close: yield not to adversity; trust not to prosperity; keep before your eyes the full scope of Fortune’s power, as if she would surely do whatever is in her power to do.

A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.

Optimum est pati quod emendare non possis.
