Plus tamen tibi et viva vox et convictus quam oratio proderit; in rem praesentem venias oportet, primum quia homines amplius oculis quam auribus credunt, deinde quia longum iter est per praecepta, breve et efficax per exempla.

Additional quotes by Seneca

Growth is slow but collapse is rapid.

Don’t absorb all you want, but all you can hold. If your mind is good, you’ll be able to take as much as you want. The more the mind takes in, the more it opens.

He who fears death will never do anything worthy of a man who is alive.
