More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.
Seneca the Younger
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
Full of men, vacant of friends.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
Seneca the Younger
On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
Its harder for people to seek retirement from themselves than from the law
Seneca the Younger
How many discoveries are reserved for the ages to come when our memory shall be no more, for this world of ours contains matter for investigation for all generations.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
Lack of desire is the greatest riches.
Seneca the Younger
It is expedient for the victor to wish for peace restored for the vanquished it is necessary.
Seneca the Younger
He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.
Seneca the Younger
The most onerous slavery is to be a slave to oneself.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
