Additional quotes by Seneca

Virtue runs no risk of becoming contemptible by being exposed to view, and it is better to be despised for simplicity than to be tormented by continual hypocrisy.

Kindly remember that he whom you call your slave sprang from the same stock, is smiled upon by the same skies, and on equal terms with yourself breathes, lives and dies. It is just as possible for you to see in him a free-born man as for him to see in you a slave.

But life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear the future.

The wise man is joyful, happy and calm, unshaken, he lives on a plane with the gods. - Seneca
