More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
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
On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
Time discovers truth.
Seneca the Younger
It is safer to offend certain men than it is to oblige them for as proof that they owe nothing they seek recourse in hatred.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
Its harder for people to seek retirement from themselves than from the law
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
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
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
Seneca the Younger
