More quotes by 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
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca the Younger
You find in some a sort of graceless modesty, that makes them ashamed to requite an obligation.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
If wisdom were offered me with this restriction, that I should keep it close and not communicate it, I would refuse the gift.
Seneca the Younger
A crowd of fellow-sufferers is a miserable kind of comfort.
Seneca the Younger
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
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
The wish for healing has always been half of health.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
Nature does not bestow virtue to be good is an art.
Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man.
Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Seneca the Younger
