More quotes by Seneca the Younger
This life is only a prelude to eternity.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.

Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.

There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
You cease to be afraid when you cease to hope for hope is accompanied by fear.

The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.

Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
