Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
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

Seneca the Younger
An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.
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
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
Fear drives the wretched to prayer
