More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
We are born to lose and to perish, to hope and to fear, to vex ourselves and others and there is no antidote against a common calamity but virtue for the foundation of true joy is in the conscience.
Seneca the Younger
People pay the doctor for his trouble for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
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
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
Find a path or make one.
Seneca the Younger
Desultory reading is delightful, but to be beneficial, our reading must be carefully directed.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so contemptible as the sentiments of the mob.
Seneca the Younger
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
Seneca the Younger
He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
