More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
This body is not a home, but an inn and that only for a short time.
Seneca the Younger
Servitude seizes on few, but many seize on her.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
All that lies betwixt the cradle and the grave is uncertain.
Seneca the Younger
The gladiator is formulating his plan in the arena or essentially Too late.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
As long as you live, learn how to live.
Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
Seneca the Younger
An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.
Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
