Seneca the Younger

To the stars through difficulties.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
The first petition that we are to make to Almighty God is for a good conscience, the next for health of mind, and then of body.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
