More quotes by Seneca the Younger
If virtue precede us every step will be safe.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes.-
Seneca the Younger
Anger, though concealed, is betrayed by the countenance. ?That anger is not warrantable which hath seen two suns.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
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
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
While you teach, you learn.
Seneca the Younger
Demand not that I am the equal of the greatest, only that I am better than the wicked.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
Who-only let him be a man and intent upon honor-is not eager for the honorable ordeal and prompt to assume perilous duties? To what energetic man is not idleness a punishment?
Seneca the Younger
They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.
Seneca the Younger
Everything that exceeds the bounds of moderation has an unstable foundation.
Seneca the Younger
