More quotes by Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
Seneca the Younger
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
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
Self-denial is the best riches.
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
He who has fostered the sweet poison of love by fondling it, finds it too late to refuse the yoke which he has of his own accord assumed.
Seneca the Younger
Anger, though concealed, is betrayed by the countenance. ?That anger is not warrantable which hath seen two suns.
Seneca the Younger
There's no delight in owning anything unshared.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
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
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
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 thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
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
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
