More quotes by Seneca the Younger
An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.
Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
The deep waters of time will flow over us: only a few men of genius will lift a head above the surface, and though doomed eventually to pass into the same silence, will fight against oblivion and for a long time hold their own.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger
Leisure without study is death, and the grave of a living man.
Seneca the Younger
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
You talk one way, you live another.
Seneca the Younger
