More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is a tedious thing to be always beginning life they live badly who always begin to live.
Seneca the Younger
He who begs timidly courts a refusal.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger
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
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
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
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Seneca the Younger
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
