More quotes by Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind.
Seneca the Younger
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
