More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
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
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
Seneca the Younger
