More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
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
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Many men provoke others to overreach them by excessive suspicion their extraordinary distrust in some sort justifies the deceit.
Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
It is the constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition, that it never looks behind it.
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
The best way to do good to ourselves is to do it to others the right way to gather is to scatter.
Seneca the Younger
