Additional quotes by Seneca

The cause of anger is the belief that we are injured; this belief, therefore, should not be lightly entertained. We ought not to fly into a rage even when the injury appears to be open and distinct: for some false things bear the semblance of truth. We should always allow some time to elapse, for time discloses the truth.

You may be sure that you are at peace with yourself when no noise reaches you, when no word shakes you out of yourself, whether it be flattery or a threat, or merely an empty sound buzzing about you with unmeaning sin.

It is a vast kingdom, to be able to cope without a kingdom.

Just as one of small stature can be a perfect man, so a life of small compass can be a perfect life. - Seneca
