Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
From Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned.
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
As long as you live, keep learning how to live.
A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two.
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.
