More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Be harsh with yourself at times.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. . . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Home joys are blessed of heaven.
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
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
To the stars through difficulties.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
