There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
We are more easily led part by part to an understanding of the whole. -Facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue needs a director and guide. Vice can be learned even without a teacher.
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
Crime oft recoils upon the author's head.
Seneca the Younger
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.
Seneca the Younger
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
