More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.
Seneca the Younger
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
We are more easily led part by part to an understanding of the whole. -Facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
This body is not a home, but an inn and that only for a short time.
Seneca the Younger
You talk one way, you live another.
Seneca the Younger
It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.
Seneca the Younger
We are born to lose and to perish, to hope and to fear, to vex ourselves and others and there is no antidote against a common calamity but virtue for the foundation of true joy is in the conscience.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
