More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?
Seneca the Younger
A disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the Younger
The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Full of men, vacant of friends.
Seneca the Younger
You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
What once were vices are manners now.
Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
The wish for healing has always been half of health.
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
Be harsh with yourself at times.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
