More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Eternal law has arranged nothing better than this, that it has given us one way in to life, but many ways out.
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so contemptible as the sentiments of the mob.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
The chief bond of the soldier is his oath of allegiance and love for the flag.
Seneca the Younger
The fortune of war is always doubtful.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Success consecrates the most offensive crimes.
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
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
