More quotes by Seneca the Younger
See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse.
Seneca the Younger
He is most powerful who governs himself.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. . . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
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
Who timidly requests invites refusal.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
The wish for healing has always been half of health.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
A crowd of fellow-sufferers is a miserable kind of comfort.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
One must take all one's life to learn how to leave, and what will perhaps make you wonder more, one must take all one's life to learn how to die.
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
