Seneca Quotes on Happiness

"With our hopes and fears we prolong and extend both our happiness and our unhappiness. But if you're wise you should measure all things in human terms, and contract the limits of your joys and your fears. Moreover, it is worth while enjoying nothing for long so that you don't fear anything for long."

- Seneca

"All the greatest blessing create anxiety, and Fortune is never less to be trusted than when it is fairest. To preserve prosperity we need other prosperity, and to support the prayers which have turned out well we have to make other prayers. Whatever comes our way by chance is unsteady, and the higher it rises the more liable it is to fail."

- Seneca
