More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Image
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Image
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!

Seneca the Younger
Image
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
Image
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Image

Seneca the Younger
Image
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
Seneca the Younger
Image
One must take all one's life to learn how to leave, and what will perhaps make you wonder more, one must take all one's life to learn how to die.
Seneca the Younger
Image
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
Image
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
Image
Nature does not bestow virtue to be good is an art.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Delay not swift the flight of fortune's greatest favours.
Seneca the Younger
Image
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
Image
An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
