Additional quotes by Seneca

But the wise man is fortified against all inroads; he is alert; he will not retreat before the attack of poverty, or of sorrow, or of disgrace, or of pain. He will walk undaunted both against them and among them.

We are driven by fate and must yield to fate. No anxious fretting can alter the threads from that commanding spindle. - Seneca
