More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
Be harsh with yourself at times.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
If you judge, investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
The path of increase is slow, but the road to ruin is rapid.
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
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
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
The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.
Seneca the Younger
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the Younger
Adversity finds at last the man whom she has often passed by.
Seneca the Younger
