More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
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
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
Seneca the Younger
Servitude seizes on few, but many seize on her.
Seneca the Younger
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember ...] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
Seneca the Younger
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
Seneca the Younger
Who timidly requests invites refusal.
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
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
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
