More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
The articulate, trained voice is more distracting than mere noise.
Seneca the Younger
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Seneca the Younger
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Seneca the Younger
