More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
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
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
As was his language so was his life.
Seneca the Younger
