More quotes by Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Seneca the Younger
These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
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
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
What you think is the summit is only a step up
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness does not create vice it merely brings it into view.
Seneca the Younger
