More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
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
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
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
It is the property of a great and good mind to covet, not the fruit of good deeds, but good deeds themselves, and to seek for a good man even after having met with bad men.
Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
Death is sometimes a punishment, often a gift to many it has been a favor.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
Seneca the Younger
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
