Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.

Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
Seneca the Younger
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
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
Men can be divided into 2 groups: one that goes ahead and achieves something, and one that comes after and criticizes.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
