Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger

More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Know thyself this is the great object.
Seneca the Younger
Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence. -Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium
Seneca the Younger
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Seneca the Younger
Speech is the mirror of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Seneca the Younger
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
Seneca the Younger
To the stars through difficulties.
Seneca the Younger
