Seneca

It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.

It is well to be born either a king or a fool.

Love of bustle is not industry.

Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

The appearances of things are deceptive. -Fallaces sunt rerum species

It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so; and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.

Light cares speak, great ones are speechless. -Curae leves loquuntur ingentes stupent

The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor; for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.

The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity.
