Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
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
A consciousness of wrongdoing is the first step to salvation...you have to catch yourself doing it before you can correct it.
Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
What view is one likely to take of the state of a person's mind when his speech is wild and incoherent and knows no constraint?
Seneca the Younger
Find a path or make one.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
If thou wishest to get rid of thy evil propensities, thou must keep far from evil companions.
Seneca the Younger
