More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.
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
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but a self-induced state of insanity.
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
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger
No one's so old that he mayn't with decency hope for one more day.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
He who comes to a conclusion when the other side is unheard, may have been just in his conclusion, but yet has not been just in his conduct.
Seneca the Younger
We become wiser by adversity prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. True happiness is ... to enjoy the present It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
Seneca the Younger
He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.
Seneca the Younger
