More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
Let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
He who has great power should use it lightly.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
He who has fostered the sweet poison of love by fondling it, finds it too late to refuse the yoke which he has of his own accord assumed.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue is nothing else than right reason
Seneca the Younger
The way to good conduct is never too late.
Seneca the Younger
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
It's the admirer and the watcher who provoke us to all the inanities we commit.
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
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
Who timidly requests invites refusal.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
