No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
While the fates permit, live happily life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.
Seneca the Younger
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Seneca the Younger
Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness does not create vice it merely brings it into view.
Seneca the Younger
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
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
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger
We are born to lose and to perish, to hope and to fear, to vex ourselves and others and there is no antidote against a common calamity but virtue for the foundation of true joy is in the conscience.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel...You are called in to help the unhappy.
Seneca the Younger
I require myself not to be equal to the best, but to be better then the bad.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger
