More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
Dissembling profiteth nothing a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The book-keeping of benefits is simple: it is all expenditure if any one returns it, that is clear gain if he does not return it, it is not lost, I gave it for the sake of giving.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
The anger of those in authority is always weighty.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
Nihil tam acerbum est in quo non æquus animus solatium inveniat. There is nothing so disagreeable, that a patient mind can not find some solace for it.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
