The Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca, known as Seneca, was right about many things:
- Prepare for the worst case scenario.
- Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
- Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
- There are more things, Lucilius, that frighten us than injure us, and we suffer more in imagination than in reality.
- Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
- Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
- All cruelty springs from weakness.
- Time heals what reason cannot.
- One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
- As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
- Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
