More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
Familiarity reduces the greatness of things.
Seneca the Younger
Dissembling profiteth nothing a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
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
See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
Slavery holds few men fast the greater number hold fast their slavery.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
The book-keeping of benefits is simple: it is all expenditure if any one returns it, that is clear gain if he does not return it, it is not lost, I gave it for the sake of giving.
Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
The anger of those in authority is always weighty.
Seneca the Younger
