Seneca the Younger
Roman - Philosopher
4 BC - 65

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum. (Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.)

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Nihil est sine ratione. There is nothing without a reason.

Gottfried Leibniz

To have nothing is not poverty. [Lat., Non est paupertas, Nestor, habere nihil.]

Martial

Whatever we say and mean by life is just a journey toward death. If you can understand that your whole life is just a journey and nothing else, then you are less interested in life and more interested in death. And once someone becomes more interested in death, he can go deep into the very depths of life; otherwise, he is just going to remain on the surface.

Rajneesh

There is nothing which God cannot do. [Lat., Nihil est quod deus efficere non possit.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Nothing is more annoying than a tardy friend. [Lat., Tardo amico nihil est quidquam iniquius.]

Plautus

Nihil tam acerbum est in quo non æquus animus solatium inveniat. There is nothing so disagreeable, that a patient mind can not find some solace for it.

Seneca the Younger

Let war be so carried on that no other object may seem to be sought but the acquisition of peace. [Lat., Bellum autem ita suscipiatur, ut nihil aliud, nisi pax, quaesita videatur.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The very life which we enjoy is short. [Lat., Vita ipsa qua fruimur brevis est.]

Sallust

Nothing is so high and above all danger that is not below and in the power of God. [Lat., Nihil ita sublime est, supraque pericula tendit Non sit ut inferius suppositumque deo.]

Ovid

Man's fortune is usually changed at once; life is changeable. [Lat., Actutum fortunae solent mutarier; varia vita est.]

Plautus

Nature never says one thing, Wisdom another. [Lat., Nunquam aliud Natura aliud Sapientia dicit.]

Juvenal

Death when to death a death by death hath given Then shall be op't the long shut gates of heaven. [Mors, mortis morti mortem nisi morte dedisset (dedisses).]

Thomas Heywood

Non est, crede mihi, sapientis dicere 'Vivam': Sera nimis vita est crastina: vive hodie. Believe me, wise men don't say 'I shall live to do that', tomorrow's life is too late; live today. Variant translation: Tomorrow will I live, the fool does say; Today itself's too late; the wise lived yesterday.

Martial

It is doubtful what fortune to-morrow will bring. [Lat., Posteraque in dubio est fortunam quam vehat aetas.]
