More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.
Seneca the Younger
He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.
Seneca the Younger
No work is of such merit as to instruct from a mere cursory perusal.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
No one's so old that he mayn't with decency hope for one more day.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
We are more wicked together than separately. If you are forced to be in a crowd, then most of all you should withdraw into yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
Now we are not merely to stick knowledge on to the soul: we must incorporate it into her the soul should not be sprinkled with knowledge but steeped in it.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
To the stars through difficulties.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
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.
Seneca the Younger
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
