More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.
Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
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
It is expedient for the victor to wish for peace restored for the vanquished it is necessary.
Seneca the Younger
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca the Younger
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca the Younger
Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
No one's so old that he mayn't with decency hope for one more day.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
