More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
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
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
The path of increase is slow, but the road to ruin is rapid.
Seneca the Younger
To rule yourself is the ultimate power
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
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
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
Be harsh with yourself at times.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
Men can be divided into 2 groups: one that goes ahead and achieves something, and one that comes after and criticizes.
Seneca the Younger
