More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
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

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. . . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
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
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
Crime oft recoils upon the author's head.
Seneca the Younger
