More quotes by Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
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
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution.
Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
If wisdom were offered me with this restriction, that I should keep it close and not communicate it, I would refuse the gift.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money.
Seneca the Younger
Many men provoke others to overreach them by excessive suspicion their extraordinary distrust in some sort justifies the deceit.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca the Younger
