Selections from the Writings of Seneca municates them to others and is in turn led astray by others. Our minds are dazzled when they look upon truth. No virtue remains hidden, and it suffers no damage by having been hidden. Nature has given to all and seeds of virtue. the fundamental principles Nature does not make us virtuous; it is an art to be come good. If what you are doing is right, all men may know it. The reward of all the virtues is in the virtues themselves. The recompense of a good deed is to have done it. Virtue alone brings lasting and sure happiness. He errs who thinks the gods intentionally inflict injuries on any one; they cannot do so; they can neither receive nor do injury. So live with men as if God saw thee; so talk wilh God as if men heard thee. God has no need of ministering servants: He Him self ministers to men; is present everywhere and in everything. The gods extend a helping hand to those who would rise. Do you wonder that man goes to the gods? God comes to men, and what is more, He comes into men. No mind is good without God. 66
Selections from the Writings of Seneca All men, if they are traced to their first origin, are from the gods. Every day, every hour, reminds us of our nothing ness and, by some fresh admonition, warns those of their frailty who are prone to forget it. Give heed to each day as if it were your Nothing will so much enable you to over yourself in all things uncertainty and brevity of life. whole life, exercise control as to think often of the You will grant that the greatest piety toward the gods is a characteristic of a good man; and so what ever may befall him he will bear with equanimity, for he will know that it has happened in harmony with that divine law by which all things are gov erned . No one is strong enough to rise by his own strength ; every man needs some one to extend a hand, some one to lead him. So let us live, so let us talk, that our destiny may find us prepared and ready to follow it, Great is the soul that has yielded itself to God; on the other hand, that one is cowardly and degenerate that resists, that finds fault with the order of the world, and is more ready to set the the gods right than itself. We ought to have before our minds some one whom we revere; some one whose influence makes even our most secret thoughts holier. 67
