More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
Eternal law has arranged nothing better than this, that it has given us one way in to life, but many ways out.
Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.
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
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
Seneca the Younger
Modesty forbids what the law does not.
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
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
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
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
