More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Image
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Obedience is yielded more readily to one who commands gently.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
Seneca the Younger
Image
If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.
Seneca the Younger
Image
I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Injustice never rules forever.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Image
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
Image
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
Image
We pardon familiar vices.
Seneca the Younger
Image
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Image
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Seneca the Younger
Image
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger
