Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We are more wicked together than separately. If you are forced to be in a crowd, then most of all you should withdraw into yourself.
Seneca the Younger
The path of increase is slow, but the road to ruin is rapid.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
Learn how to feel joy.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
