If you wish another to keep your secret, first keep it yourself.
Alium silere quod voles, primus sile.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger

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.
