More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
Desultory reading is delightful, but to be beneficial, our reading must be carefully directed.
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
Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
Know thyself this is the great object.
Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger
