More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more disgraceful than that an old man should have nothing to show to prove that he has lived long, except his years.
Seneca the Younger
The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
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
He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
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
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
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate.
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
Economy is in itself a great source of revenue.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
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
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger
