More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger
Lack of desire is the greatest riches.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.

Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
If thou wishest to get rid of thy evil propensities, thou must keep far from evil companions.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
This body is not a home, but an inn and that only for a short time.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
