You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Where fear is, happiness is not.
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
When we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
Whatever one of us blames in another, each one will find in his own heart.
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Whatever fortune has raised to a height, she has raised only to cast it down.
