More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Time discovers truth.
Seneca the Younger
Life is short and art is long.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel...You are called in to help the unhappy.
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
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
The best cure for anger is delay.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
Seneca the Younger
... frugality makes a poor man rich.
Seneca the Younger
The worse a person is the less he feels it.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so contemptible as the sentiments of the mob.
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
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
