More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
Nature does not bestow virtue to be good is an art.
Seneca the Younger
In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
Seneca the Younger
Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger
The miserable are sacred.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more disgraceful than that an old man should have nothing to show to prove that he has lived long, except his years.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
