More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
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
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but a self-induced state of insanity.
Seneca the Younger
Everything that exceeds the bounds of moderation has an unstable foundation.
Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.
Seneca the Younger
He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.
Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
