Keanan J.S.

“He who refuses to rule is liable to be ruled by one who is worse than himself.”
― Plato

“Before you heal someone, ask him if he's willing to give up the things that make him sick.”
― Hippocrates

“Lives such as yours—how true it is!—though they should exceed
a thousand years, will contract into the smallest span: but those vices
of yours will swallow up any amount of time. This length of time you
have, that reason prolongs, however swift nature makes its sojourn,
is bound to pass quickly through your fingers; for you do not grasp
it, or seek to hold on to it, or try to delay the passing of the swiftest
thing of all, but allow it to depart, as if it were something surplus to
requirement and easily replaced.”
― Lucius Annaeus Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“But those who forget the past, ignore the present, and fear for the future have a life that is very brief and filled with anxiety: when they come to face death, the wretches understand too late that for such a long time they have busied themselves in doing nothing.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It
