Seneca the Younger (Seneca) Quotes
The things which we hold in our hands, which we see with our eyes, and which our avarice hugs, are transitory, they may be taken from us by ill luck or by violence; but a kindness lasts even after the loss of that by means of which it was bestowed; for it is a good deed, which no violence can undo.

They have left me pale and sick
With me pockets full of tissues
And me nostrils full of Vick.
