Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca the Younger
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
He is most powerful who governs himself.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
