Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
As long as you live, learn how to live.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
Although a man has so well purged his mind that nothing can trouble or deceive him any more, yet he reached his present innocence through sin.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.
Seneca the Younger
