More quotes by 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
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
Seneca the Younger
Happy is the man who can endure the highest and lowest fortune. He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.
Seneca the Younger
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not depend so much upon tomorrow's.
Seneca the Younger
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
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
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Refuse to let the thought of death bother you: nothing is grim when we have escaped that fear.
Seneca the Younger
Time discovers truth.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.
Seneca the Younger
True love can fear no one.
Seneca the Younger
