Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca It would be some consolation for the feebleness of ourselves and our works, if all things should perish as slowly as they come into being; but as it is, increases are of sluggish growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
