More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
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

Seneca the Younger

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
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
All that lies betwixt the cradle and the grave is uncertain.
Seneca the Younger
To rule yourself is the ultimate power
Seneca the Younger
Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.
Seneca the Younger
The miserable are sacred.
