More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.
Seneca the Younger
It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
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
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.
Seneca the Younger
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
