More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
Human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger
We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not depend so much upon tomorrow's.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Learn how to feel joy.
Seneca the Younger
