More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
It's the admirer and the watcher who provoke us to all the inanities we commit.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger
Demand not that I am the equal of the greatest, only that I am better than the wicked.
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations.
Seneca the Younger
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
Seneca the Younger
