More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
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
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
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
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
While you teach, you learn.
Seneca the Younger
Although a man has so well purged his mind that nothing can trouble or deceive him any more, yet he reached his present innocence through sin.
Seneca the Younger
Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
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
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
All that lies betwixt the cradle and the grave is uncertain.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
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
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
Seneca the Younger
