Additional quotes by Seneca

Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those who you are capable of improving.

Virtue you will find in the temple, in the forum, in the senate-house—you will find her standing in front of the city walls, dusty and stained, and with calloused hands; pleasure you will more often find lurking out of sight and in the places that fear the police.

sic vive cum hominibus tamquam deus videat, si loquere cum deo tamquam homines audiant.
