Seneca,
Lucius Annaeus Seneca ( 4BC -- 65AD)

(known as Seneca the Younger HD (the Younger) DT1a c.)

Roman philosopher, statesman and writer, born in Córdoba, Spain, the son of Seneca (the Elder). Banished to Corsica (41--9) by Claudius, on a charge of adultery, he was recalled by Agrippina, who entrusted him with the education of her son, Nero. Made consul by Nero in 57, his high moral aims gradually incurred the emperor's displeasure, and he withdrew from public life. Drawn into conspiracy, he was condemned, and committed suicide in Rome. The publication of his Tenne Tragedies in 1581 was important in the evolution of Elizabethan drama, which took from them the five-act division, as well as the horrors and the rhetoric.


allò que consideres el cim és només un graó
deixaràs de témer, si deixes d\'esperar
d\'un gran persona hi ha sempre alguna cosa a aprendre, encara que estigui callada
el vent no bufa mai de la banda bona per a qui no sap on va
és millor saber coses inútils que no saber res
l vida és llarga si és plena
la solitud és per a l\'esperit el que l\'aliment és per al cos
no desitjar és el mateix que posseir
no hi ha res que posseeixi tant com allò que he donat
veuré totes les terres com si fossin meves, i les meves com si fossin de tothom
