More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nature does not bestow virtue to be good is an art.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
The first petition that we are to make to Almighty God is for a good conscience, the next for health of mind, and then of body.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
All art is but imitation of nature.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
The best cure for anger is delay.
Seneca the Younger
You cease to be afraid when you cease to hope for hope is accompanied by fear.
Seneca the Younger
They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.
Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
