“The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”
― Seneca, Natural Questions

“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality”
― Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”

“Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms -- you’ll be able to use them better when you’re older.”
