Cult Icon Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 "All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike. All is ephemeral-both memory and the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you" "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."" " Do not dream of possession of what you do not have: rather reflect on the greatest blessings in what you do have, and on their account remind yourself how much they would have been missed if they were not there."

Cult Icon Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 "Show me a man who isn’t a slave; one is a slave to sex, another to money, another to ambition; all are slaves to hope or fear. I could show you a man who has been a Consul who is a slave to his ‘little old woman’, a millionaire who is the slave of a little girl in domestic service." - Seneca "Yet the greatest waste of life lies in postponement: it robs us of each day in turn, and snatches away the present by promising the future. The greatest impediment to living is expectancy, which relies on tomorrow and wastes today." -Seneca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat."
