🌿“The Worst Punishment For Crime Lies In The Crime Itself. You Are Mistaken, I Maintain, If You

🌿“The worst punishment for crime lies in the crime itself. You are mistaken, I maintain, if you propose to reserve your punishments for the hangman or the prison; the crime is punished immediately after it is committed; nay, rather, at the moment when it is committed. Hence, good does not spring from evil, any more than figs grow from olive-trees.”

🌿© Seneca, “Moral Letters to Lucilius”

🌿🌿🌿No Man Fears Caesar Himself, But He Fears Death, Banishment, Deprivation Of His Property,

🌿🌿🌿No man fears Caesar himself, but he fears death, banishment, deprivation of his property, prison, and disgrace. Nor does any man love Caesar, unless Caesar is a person of great merit, but he loves wealth, the office of tribune, praetor or consul. When we love, and hate, and fear these things, it must be that those who have the power over them must be our masters.”🌿🌿🌿

“Man, In Every Kind There Is Produced Something Which Excels; In Oxen, In Dogs, In Bees, In Horses.

“Man, in every kind there is produced something which excels; in oxen, in dogs, in bees, in horses. Do not then say to that which excels, "Who, then, are you?" If you do, it will find a voice in some way and say, "I am such a thing as the purple in a garment: do not expect me to be like the others, or blame my nature that it has made me different from the rest of men.” © Epictetus, “Discourses”.
