More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The person you are matters more than the place to which you go.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Happy is the man who can endure the highest and lowest fortune. He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
Seneca the Younger
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes.-
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
