Seneca the Younger
Let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The worse a person is the less he feels it.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
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
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
