More quotes by Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Seneca the Younger
A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
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
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
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
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.
Seneca the Younger
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
Seneca the Younger
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
Seneca the Younger
It is safer to offend certain men than it is to oblige them for as proof that they owe nothing they seek recourse in hatred.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
Some lack the fickleness to live as they wish and just live as they have begun.
Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
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
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
