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.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger
Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
Seneca the Younger
The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.
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
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
You roll my log, and I will roll yours.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
The articulate, trained voice is more distracting than mere noise.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
