More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
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
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
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
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
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
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
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
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
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
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
The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution.
Seneca the Younger
Know thyself this is the great object.
Seneca the Younger
