More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
Seneca the Younger
This body is not a home, but an inn and that only for a short time.
Seneca the Younger
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
Human society is like an arch, kept from falling by the mutual pressure of its parts
Seneca the Younger
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
