Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes,
Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri.
Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is better, of course, to know useless things than to know nothing.
Fortune is less severe against those of lesser degree, and God strikes what is weak with less power.
Nature has given us the seeds of knowledge, not knowledge itself.

A generation which ignores history has no past —and no future.
Nothing is there to come, and nothing past,
But an eternal now does always last.
