More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
Seneca the Younger
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
Seneca the Younger
This life is only a prelude to eternity.
Seneca the Younger
He who has great power should use it lightly.
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Some lack the fickleness to live as they wish and just live as they have begun.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
Those who pass their lives in foreign travel find they contract many ties of hospitality, but form no friendships.
Seneca the Younger
