More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
There has never been any great genius without a spice of madness.
Seneca the Younger
The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.
Seneca the Younger
Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
The Germans, a race eager for war.
Seneca the Younger
The way to good conduct is never too late.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
