More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Crime oft recoils upon the author's head.
Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
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
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind possesses a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
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
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.
Seneca the Younger
Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
Seneca the Younger
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever we owe, it is our part to find where to pay it, and to do it without asking, too for whether the creditor be good or bad, the debt is still the same.
Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
