Seneca the Younger

Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger

Self-denial is the best riches.
Seneca the Younger

Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel...You are called in to help the unhappy.
Seneca the Younger

As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
Image
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger

No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
Image
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
Image
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
Image
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
Image
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
Image
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
Seneca the Younger
Image
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
