Image
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
Image
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Image
No man finds it difficult to return to nature except the man who has deserted nature.
Seneca the Younger
Image
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Seneca the Younger
Image
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
Image
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
Image

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
Image
What you think is the summit is only a step up
Seneca the Younger
Image
The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger
Image
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
