More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence. -Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
Trifling trouble find utterance deeply felt pangs are silent.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
