More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man.
Seneca the Younger
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Seneca the Younger
The voice is nothing but beaten air.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
We pardon familiar vices.
Seneca the Younger
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
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
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
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
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
What once were vices are manners now.
Seneca the Younger
