More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
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
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
That which Fortune has not given, she cannot take away.
Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
Men can be divided into 2 groups: one that goes ahead and achieves something, and one that comes after and criticizes.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
