Live the Words

We have a mug at my house that is from a line of products called "Quoteables". On the mug is a quote from Osho that says, "Life should not only be lived, but celebrated!" I was looking on their website and i found a quote that I'm pretty sure is from Seneca. It says, "Thank you for being." I liked that quote so I looked for some other meaningful quotes from Seneca. This is what I found:

"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body."

"As long as you live, keep learning how to live"

"I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good."

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."

"Let tears flow of their own accord: their flowing is not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony."

"It should be our care not so much to live a long life as a satisfactory one."

As you might know, Seneca was the Emperor Nero's tutor.

Scary.
