Seneca. Quotes

We Must Limit The Running To And Fro Which Most Men Practise, Rambling About Houses, Theatres, And Marketplaces. They Mind Other Men's Business, And Always Seem As Though They Themselves Had Something To Do. If You Ask One Of Them As He Comes Out Of His Own Door, "Whither Are You Going?" He Will Answer, "By Hercules, I Do Not Know: But I Shall See Some People And Do Something." They Wander Purposelessly Seeking For Something To Do, And Do, Not What They Have Made Up Their Minds To Do, But What Has Casually Fallen In Their Way. They Move Uselessly And Without Any Plan, Just Like Ants Crawling Over Bushes, Which Creep Up To The Top And Then Down To The Bottom Again Without Gaining Anything. Many Men Spend Their Lives In Exactly The Same Fashion, Which One May Call A State Of Restless Indolence.
