More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
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 Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
Four things does a reckless man gain who covets his neighbor's wife - demerit, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and lastly, hell.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger
There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
Learn how to feel joy.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts are like seeds they are little things which do much good if the mind which receives them has a disposition, it must not be doubted that his part contributes to the generation, and adds much to that which has been collected.
Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
Seneca the Younger
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
I would rather be sick than idle.
Seneca the Younger
