More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember ...] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
As was his language so was his life.
Seneca the Younger
He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
Principles are like seeds they are little things which do much good, if the mind that receives them has the right attitudes.
Seneca the Younger
If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.
Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
