By: Seneca

A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.

As it is with a play, so it is with life—what matters is not how long the acting lasts, but how good it is.

Death: There's nothing bad about it at all except the thing that comes before it—the fear of it.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.

Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.

Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.

You can only acquire it successfully if you cease to feel any sense of shame.
