More quotes by 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
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
Everything that exceeds the bounds of moderation has an unstable foundation.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts are like seeds they are little things which do much good if the mind which receives them has a disposition, it must not be doubted that his part contributes to the generation, and adds much to that which has been collected.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
He who has great power should use it lightly.
Seneca the Younger
Demand not that I am the equal of the greatest, only that I am better than the wicked.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
Light cares speak, great ones are speechless. -Curae leves loquuntur ingentes stupent
Seneca the Younger
The Germans, a race eager for war.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
