More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
Injustice never rules forever.
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
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
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
A crowd of fellow-sufferers is a miserable kind of comfort.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
