More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death a thousand doors open on to it.
Seneca the Younger
The miserable are sacred.
Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.
Seneca the Younger
Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
How great would be our peril if our slaves began to number us!
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
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
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit
Seneca the Younger
How many discoveries are reserved for the ages to come when our memory shall be no more, for this world of ours contains matter for investigation for all generations.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
