Por mi clase de español tuve que preparar algo sobre Séneca, que llevó al España romana la filosofía estoica. Me parecen muy interesantes y modernas (o sea universal) unas de sus citas, y voy a compartirselas con Uds.
Por hoy:
Sea silencioso en cuanto a los servicios que ha rendido, pero habla de los favores que ha recibido.
For my Spanish class I had to prepare something about Seneca, who brought stoic philosophy to Roman era Spain. Several of his quotations are very interesting; they seem modern (or universal) and I will share them w/ you.
For today:
"Be quiet about the services you've provided, but speak out about the favors you've recieved."

Re: Cita Diaria de Séneca
Tue, October 17, 2006 - 10:32 PMNo es porque las cosas eran difíciles que nosotros no nos atrevamos; es porque nosotros no nos atrevemos que ellos son difíciles.
to paraphrase:
It isn't because things are difficult that we don't dare to try them--it is because we don't dare to try them that they are difficult!
