“All those who summon you to themselves, turn you away from your own self.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“If these wish to know how short their life is, let them reflect how small a part of it is their own.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“And so there is no reason for you to think that any man has lived long because he has grey hairs or wrinkles; he has not lived long — he has existed long.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“Life will follow the path it started upon, and will neither reverse nor check its course; it will make no noise, it will not remind you of its swiftness.  Silent it will glide on; it will not prolong itself at the command of a king, or at the applause of the populace.   Just as it was started on its first day, so it will run; nowhere will it turn aside, nowhere will it delay.  And what will be the result?  You have been engrossed, life hastens by; meanwhile death will be at hand, for which, willy nilly, you must find leisure.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
