More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
Seneca the Younger
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
The Germans, a race eager for war.
Seneca the Younger
If virtue precede us every step will be safe.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
