Seneca (also known as Seneca The Younger) was a philosopher in the Roman Imperial Period who was one of the major influences in Stoic philosophy and his works on tragedy. Although little is known about his early life, he is best known for being one of the wealthiest men in Rome, as well as being a tutor for one of the most infamous Roman emperors "Nero" after Agrippina chose him to be his tutor. Some of his known quotes come from Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium (Moral Letters to Lucilius), De Brevitate Vitae (On the Shortness of Life), De Ira (On Anger), De Clementia (On Mercy), and other works. After his death from forced suicide under a conspiracy regarding Nero, his legacy was especially extolled in the Renaissance, even influencing Elizabethan theatre and Michel de Montaigne in the 16th century, along with other famous individuals. Many people still resonate with his quotes which remain applicable in today's situations. This list presents some of his best quotes.
