More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca the Younger
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
Every journey has an end.
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Seneca the Younger
An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.
Seneca the Younger
