More quotes by Seneca the Younger
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
If you judge, investigate.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
Seneca the Younger
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Seneca the Younger
Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.
Seneca the Younger
If you would judge, understand.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
If thou wishest to get rid of thy evil propensities, thou must keep far from evil companions.
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
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
