Additional quotes by Seneca

I do not trust my eyes to tell me what a man is: I have a better and more trustworthy light by which I can distinguish what is true from what is false: let the mind find out what is good for the mind.

You do not know where death awaits you; so be ready for it everywhere.

I do not know whether I shall make progress; but I should prefer to lack success rather than to lack faith.
