Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Nature does not bestow virtue to be good is an art.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
Seneca the Younger
Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
Seneca the Younger
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
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
