More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
No one's so old that he mayn't with decency hope for one more day.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.
Seneca the Younger
The best cure for anger is delay.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
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
Servitude seizes on few, but many seize on her.
Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
Seneca the Younger
To strive with an equal is dangerous with a superior, mad with an inferior, degrading.
Seneca the Younger
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
