More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
While the fates permit, live happily life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.
Seneca the Younger
Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
The deep waters of time will flow over us: only a few men of genius will lift a head above the surface, and though doomed eventually to pass into the same silence, will fight against oblivion and for a long time hold their own.
Seneca the Younger
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger
