More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
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
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death a thousand doors open on to it.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
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
The physician cannot prescribe by letter, he must feel the pulse.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
Know thyself this is the great object.
Seneca the Younger
People pay the doctor for his trouble for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
Seneca the Younger
He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
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
