Lucius Annaeus Seneca
True happiness is to understand our duties toward God and man to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears, but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is abundantly sufficient for he that is so wants nothing.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca
