Oscar Wilde
“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”
Oscar Wilde

Seneca
“The sun also shines on the wicked.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Seneca
“Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.”
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It

Mark Twain
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
Mark Twain

Seneca
“He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.”
Seneca, On Anger
