Additional quotes by Seneca

My master Attalus used to say: "Evil herself drinks the largest portion of her own poison." The poison which serpents carry for the destruction of others, and secrete without harm to themselves, is not like this poison; for this sort is ruinous to the possessor.

We are driven by fate and must yield to fate.
No anxious fretting can alter
the threads from that commanding spindle.

Everything hangs on one's thinking...A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
