More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Every journey has an end.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long.
Seneca the Younger
I have withdrawn not only from men, but from affairs, especially my own affairs I am working for later generations, writing down some ideas that may be of assistance to them.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
Seneca the Younger
The wish for healing has always been half of health.
Seneca the Younger
