Marcus Annaeus Seneca

"The great soul surrenders itself to fate."

"It is for the superfluous things of life that men sweat."

"What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature."

"A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature."

"Failure changes for the better success for the worse."

"Let us be brave in the face of adversity."

"What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles is little more than choice to him that is willing."
