Seneca, L. A. (c. 49 d.C.). *De Brevitate Vitae* [On the Shortness of Life]. Traducción: John W. Basore (1932). Loeb Classical Library. London: William Heinemann.
It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested.
— Cap. I
The part of life we really live is small. For all the rest of existence is not life, but merely time.
— Cap. II
You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, though all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last.
— Cap. III
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living: there is nothing that is harder to learn. It takes the whole of life to learn how to live, and—what will perhaps make you wonder more—it takes the whole of life to learn how to die.
— Cap. VII
The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon the morrow and wastes to-day.
— Cap. IX
Of all men they alone are at leisure who take time for philosophy, they alone really live.
— Cap. XIV
He makes his life long by combining all times into one.
— Cap. XV
