More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
There is no power greater than true affection.
Seneca the Younger
If you live according to nature, you never will be poor if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.
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
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
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
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
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
The Best sign of Wisdom is the consistency between the words and deeds.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
If you would judge, understand.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
