More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Adversity finds at last the man whom she has often passed by.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
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
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart.
Seneca the Younger
Crime oft recoils upon the author's head.
Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
If wisdom were offered me with this restriction, that I should keep it close and not communicate it, I would refuse the gift.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit
Seneca the Younger
Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death a thousand doors open on to it.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them.
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
Anger, though concealed, is betrayed by the countenance. ?That anger is not warrantable which hath seen two suns.
Seneca the Younger
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
