More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not depend so much upon tomorrow's.
Seneca the Younger
Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.
Seneca the Younger
I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
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
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
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
Nothing is so contemptible as the sentiments of the mob.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
The way to good conduct is never too late.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
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
Economy is in itself a great source of revenue.
Seneca the Younger
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger
