More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
Seneca the Younger
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.

Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Seneca the Younger
A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
