Seneca




Seneca the Younger/Quotes
 
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
 
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
 
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
 
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
 
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
 
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
 
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
 
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
 
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
 
 
 
 
A great mind becomes a great fortune.
