Lucius Annaeus Seneca Equal Quotations

Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance; it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.

To strive with an equal is dangerous; with a superior, mad; with an inferior, degrading.
