Additional quotes by Seneca

Let the mind, then, stand in readiness, and let it never fear whatever must be, let it always expect whatever may be.

For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands.

Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardships of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
