Seneca the Younger
Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
Human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
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
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
The Germans, a race eager for war.
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Seneca the Younger
