More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
Refuse to let the thought of death bother you: nothing is grim when we have escaped that fear.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
If virtue precede us every step will be safe.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
Principles are like seeds they are little things which do much good, if the mind that receives them has the right attitudes.
Seneca the Younger
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.
Seneca the Younger
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
There has never been any great genius without a spice of madness.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
