"As the same chain fastens the prisoner and the soldier who guards them, so fear and hope, dissimilar as they are, keep step together. 

Each belongs to a mind that is in suspense, a mind looking forward to the future. Our memory recalls the tortures of fear, while foresight anticipates them.

The present alone makes no person wretched."

• Seneca, Letter V
