Daniel Eidi

“And doubtless if men differed from one another in the mere forms of their bodies as much as the statues of the Gods do from men, all would acknowledge that the inferior class should be slaves of the superior. . . . It is clear, then, that some men are by nature free, and others slaves, and that for these latter slavery is both expedient and right.”
― Aristotle, Politics

“I should prefer to see you abandoning grief that it abandoning you.”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“The very bad men come from the class of those who have power. And yet in that very class there may arise good men, and worthy of all admiration they are, for where there is great power to do wrong, to live and to die justly is a hard thing, and greatly to be praised, and few there are who attain to this.”
― Plato, Gorgias

“Would you not think him an utter fool who wept because he was not alive a thousand years ago? And is he not just as much of a fool who weeps because he will not be alive a thousand years from now?

It is all the same; you will not be, and you were not. Neither of these periods of time belongs to you.”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic
