Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes (752 quotes)
 | “A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.” ―Lucius Annaeus Seneca Source/Notes: Seneca's morals by way of abstract: To which is added, a discourse under the title of An after-thought (1803 edition) |

Bio: Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca or Seneca the Younger) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and in one work humorist, of the Silver Age of Latin literature.
