More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
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
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit
Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.
Seneca the Younger
People pay the doctor for his trouble for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
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
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
