Additional quotes by Seneca

Surely no one would choose to hit a foe so hard as to have his hand get stuck in the wound and be able to withdraw from the blow. But anger is a weapon of just this type; it’s hard to draw it back.

Si sapis, alterum alteri misce: nec speraveris sine desperatione nec desperaveris sine spe.

quid est sapienta? semper idem velle atque idem nolle.
