Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Roman philosopher, playwright, and statesman, was known for his profound insights into human nature and the workings of the universe. One of his most famous quotes is, “Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God.” This statement encapsulates Seneca’s belief in a higher power that governs all aspects of existence, whether it be the natural world, the course of events, or the fortunes of individuals.
