More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Light cares speak, great ones are speechless. -Curae leves loquuntur ingentes stupent
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
Indolence is stagnation employment is life.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
