More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
Lack of desire is the greatest riches.
Seneca the Younger
My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
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
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
Who can hope for nothing, should despair for nothing.
Seneca the Younger
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
A disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
He who has fostered the sweet poison of love by fondling it, finds it too late to refuse the yoke which he has of his own accord assumed.
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
Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
