Quote by Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes

Summary

This quote suggests that the darkness of night does not eliminate or solve our problems, but instead brings them into clearer focus. It implies that in the silent solitude of the night, our troubles become more prominent and noticeable. Instead of offering relief or escape, the darkness of the night acts as a spotlight, forcing us to confront and address our challenges rather than running away from them. Ultimately, the quote suggests that the night may serve as a catalyst for self-reflection, growth, and finding solutions to our troubles.

When one has come to accept a certain course as duty he has

When one has come to accept a certain course as duty he has a pleasant sense of relief and of lifted responsibility, even if the course involves pain and renunciation.
