More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nature does not bestow virtue to be good is an art.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
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
It is the constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition, that it never looks behind it.
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
An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
No man finds it difficult to return to nature except the man who has deserted nature.
Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
Economy is in itself a great source of revenue.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
Now we are not merely to stick knowledge on to the soul: we must incorporate it into her the soul should not be sprinkled with knowledge but steeped in it.
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
