More quotes by Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
We should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
While you teach, you learn.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
You talk one way, you live another.
Seneca the Younger
Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind.
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
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
