Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Read Quote
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Read Quote
True praise comes often even to the lowly; false praise only to the strong. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Read Quote
