Additional quotes by Seneca

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.

A good person dyes events with his own color...and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.

There is no more stupefying thing than anger, nothing more bent on its own strength. If successful, none more arrogant, if foiled, none more insane—since it’s not driven back by weariness even in defeat, when fortune removes its adversary it turns its teeth on itself.
