Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember ...] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
Seneca the Younger
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger
Speech is the mirror of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
Seneca the Younger
A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
Seneca the Younger
