Results from Poor Man's College:

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 (5 BC - 65 AD)
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
We are so vain as to set the highest value upon those things to which nature has assigned the lowest place. What can be more coarse and rude in the mind than the precious metals, or more slavish and dirty than the people that dig and work them? And yet they defile our minds more than our bodies, and make the possessor fouler than the artificer of them. Rich men, in fine, are only the greater slaves.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Most powerful is he who has himself in his power.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
There is a noble manner of being poor and who does not know it will never be rich.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
To see a man fearless in dangers. untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
