Additional quotes by Seneca

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

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

That man lost his children; you also may lose yours. That man was condemned to death; your innocence also is in imminent peril.

Some things torment us more than they ought; some torment us before they ought; and others torment us when they ought not torment us at all. - Seneca
