What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Quid enim refert, quantum habeas? multo illud plus est, quod non habes.

More quotes by Seneca the Elder
It is the sign of a great spirit to be moderate in prosperity.
The entire world would perish, if pity were not to limit anger.
It is wrong not to give a hand to the fallen; this law is universal to the whole human race.
The whole world would have been destroyed if compassion did not put an end to anger.
