Seneca The Younger

When ever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
-Seneca

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.
-Seneca

To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself.
-Seneca

Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
-Seneca

You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.
-Seneca

It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
-Seneca

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
-Seneca

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
-Seneca

It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It’s because we dare not venture that they are difficult.
-Seneca

We are more often frightened than hurt.
-Seneca
