More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but a self-induced state of insanity.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
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
