More quotes by Seneca the Younger
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.
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
In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
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
People pay the doctor for his trouble for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca the Younger
Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so contemptible as the sentiments of the mob.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
Nihil tam acerbum est in quo non æquus animus solatium inveniat. There is nothing so disagreeable, that a patient mind can not find some solace for it.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Seneca the Younger
A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
Seneca the Younger
Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them.
Seneca the Younger
