More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
Anger, though concealed, is betrayed by the countenance. ?That anger is not warrantable which hath seen two suns.
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
Desultory reading is delightful, but to be beneficial, our reading must be carefully directed.
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
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
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
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
He who tenders doubtful safety to those in trouble refuses it.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
There is no power greater than true affection.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
It is safer to offend certain men than it is to oblige them for as proof that they owe nothing they seek recourse in hatred.
Seneca the Younger
