More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
Seneca the Younger
If you would judge, understand.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
Seneca the Younger
The gladiator is formulating his plan in the arena or essentially Too late.
Seneca the Younger
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
If thou wishest to get rid of thy evil propensities, thou must keep far from evil companions.
Seneca the Younger
There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
The Germans, a race eager for war.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
Seneca the Younger
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.
Seneca the Younger
