More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
The road by precepts is tedious, by example, short and efficacious.
Seneca the Younger
Let the weary at length possess quiet rest.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
If you judge, investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Speech is the mirror of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.
Seneca the Younger
No man finds it difficult to return to nature except the man who has deserted nature.
Seneca the Younger
The profit on a good action is to have done it.
Seneca the Younger
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
