The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Ambrose Bierce

More law, less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
Jerry Seinfeld

Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.
Eric Hoffer

Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
Eric Hoffer

There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear.
