| Seneca
A great step toward independence is a good humored stomach. Begin at once to live, and count each day as a separate life. Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future one. He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another. I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good. If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favourable to him. If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind. It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen; that is the common right of humanity. It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence. It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses. It is part of the cure to wish to be cured. It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth. It should be our care not so much to live a long life as a satisfactory one. Let no man presume to give advice to others, that has not first given counsel to himself.No man was ever wise by chance.No one can wear a mask for very long. Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable. One should count each day a separate life. The best cure for anger is delay.The most onerous slavery is to be a slave to oneself. The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged; it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed. Time heals what reason cannot.To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature. We most often go astray on a well trodden and much frequented road. Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool. What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing--to live in accord with his nature. Where reason fails, time oft has worked a cure. Wherever there is a human being there is an opportunity for kindnessWhile we are postponing, life speeds by. |
