Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
There are more things, Lucilius, that frighten us than injure us, and we suffer more in imagination than in reality.
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
Time heals what reason cannot.
All cruelty springs from weakness.
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
All art is but imitation of nature.

-Seneca
